Robert repeats his mantra as he tries to concentrate on nothing but his breathing.
Every moment is a paradise. Every moment is a paradise.
He remembers his trip to Bali, floating in the ocean surf as the sun set over the horizon. That was paradise.
He remembers looking into his eyes and the world disappearing in the totality of their love. That was paradise.
He opens his eyes surreptitiously and glances about the room. The faux-wood floors, the scent of cleaner in the air, the sad plant in the corner.
This is not a paradise. This is not a paradise.
