Relax and breathe along with Julie Potiker as she leads you through this healing breath meditation. She completes the meditation with her poem, "In the Habitable Zone".
In the Habitable Zone, by Julie Potiker
I let the thought settle—dew on my skin—120 light years from my morning coffee,a world, more than eight times biggerthan Earth, orbits a red dwarf star.Spinning steadily in what scientists callthe habitable zone.It could be a Hycean world, coveredin water so deep it forgets land.And maybe, just maybe, tiny beingsfloat there like Earth planktonreleasing dimethyl sulfide intoan atmosphere the stirs with methane,each molecule , a question flung towardus by the James Webb’s patient lens.Science says: 99.7 percent confidence.Still, let’s be careful. There are otherpaths that mimic life. But I want to exhalewonder. Let awe arise like phytoplanktonbasking in the sun. If the universe speaksin more than one place how can we notlisten with our whole hearts. Maybe, justmaybe, we are not aloneafter all.
