Legs crossed. Back straight. Breathing—in, out, in, out. She read the book. Watched the video. Set the timer for ten minutes. This is supposed to help. Calm the mind. Find peace. All of that.</p> <p>In. Out.</p> <p><em>Did I respond to that email?</em></p> <p>In. Out.</p> <p>No, back to the breath. Focus.</p> <p>The breath. Right. In.</p> <p>Out.</p> <p><em>God, my knee hurts. Is it supposed to hurt? Maybe I&rsquo;m sitting wrong.</em></p>
