"Live life like a ceremony," one of her first teachers had told her. "Take reponsibility for your every breath. Be aware of all the wide wonder of the world that surrounds you and connects the thing you are to every other thing." 

"You mean all the time?"
"Would that be such a chore?"
"It's just... when do you relax?"
The old woman smiled. "Who says it's no relaxing?"
