Light & Shadow + Pause 5 Class Notes

The theme of today’s online class was “Light & Shadow” and you can see my class notes and comments at Pause 5: Light & Shadow. (linked to my notes) Still not excited about the class, but this was a good photo-activity! 🙂

Pause 3 in My Mindfulness Class: Breathing

Go straight to my notes or report page:

Pause 3: Breathing – May 12, 2026

I searched my quotation sources for a good summary of this unusual lesson:

“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh

I am still trying to wrap my brain around this unusual lesson on breathing. If interested, click the above link to my notes and see the two videos and determine what you think of this as a help to mindful photography.

I’m surrounded by green plants that are constantly producing the pure oxygen I breathe.
