Edwin you've done about as good a job describing this as any. I've made feeble attempts to do it but nearly always fall short and delete what I've typed.
In the book, "Midfulness:In Plain English" the author, Gunaratana, states over and over again that "This awareness cannot be described adequately. Words are not enough. It can only be experienced."
He goes on to try to explain the coming relationship with the breath as one uses it to practice meditation.
Again I quote from the above book, "Breath ceases to be just breath; it is no longer limited to the static and familiar concept you once held. . . Breath becomes a living, changing process, something alive and facinating."
The only thing I can say about this is that within awareness,each breath becomes a Universe unto itself and in that thoughtless moment the mind contains it all in splendor.
