The Quiet Within

Testimonial of an inmate from a prison in Jerusalem

My wife came to visit after we hadn’t seen each other for a long time. She brought some food and refreshments. I looked forward to her visit, but from the outset she said something that made my blood boil. I knew that the visit had ended before it had begun. Then I remembered to breathe three breaths and I inhaled and exhaled a few times. Everything changed. I did not lose my temper and we conversed nicely. It was a very good visit.
