It was Odd

The night before last, in that relaxed moment between leaving sleep permanently behind and swinging one's legs over the side of the bed to start the day I had an odd experience. Out of rhythm with my breathing, but as though I was breathing, my body was swelling and deflating - not so extremely as those words suggest but as though I was breathing. The chest expands and subsides with the inhalation and exhalation of the breath. Except I was breathing at a different rate than this strange phenomenon.

I was fully awake for I got up shortly after. But I held still just to experience this weird occurrence. It didn't hurt, it wasn't conscious, it wasn't even frightening, just odd.
