AI Suggested Title: Breathing Presence: Subtle Mindfulness Practice
This idea in your mind may make your... You don't really feel the subtleness of your breath. Look, you're just present with each breath like it's quite new. Nothing special, no idea of accomplishing practice. Just quietly be present with your actual breath. There's some subtlety here. Nothing big, but some subtlety.

Some subtlety that allows us to be, to feel ourselves. And to feel the people around us. So we've talked so much this week. And even so, I think it's been, for me at least, it's been something unusual, although quite ordinary, to be here with you.

And I appreciate Marie-Louise's effort to translate all these things. Okay. Just translate. Yeah, I don't know what to say. Straightforwardly, simply, no vanity here. Yeah, and I appreciate each of your, you know, somehow really being present to the practice. Thank you.
