Expanding with ease
Naturally contracting
Moment to moment

Like breathing--hmmm?
Very meditative...

It has the quality of good haiku, where the idea seems to appear on the page without visible effort!

(much easier said than done)

it's funny, i wrote this poem about dealing with other people, as well as all the different situations we encounter in the world. It wasn't until a couple of days after i wrote it that i realized that it describes the process of breathing!

That is as I suspected. And that is how I read the poem also--the breathing image came afterward.
It's such a great analogy to how we reach out towards others, and then withdraw our energy and regroup, as a spontaneous ebb and flow. As you say, the challenge is to relax and let it happen, harmoniously.
