Breath

The first one, fresh and life-giving. Deep. Through the mouth, or better through the nose. Breath. Without it we weaken, we die. The last one.

Inhale-exhale. In the rhythm of sea waves crashing against the shore. Breath lies in a breeze and lies in a blow. Blowing on our hands, we can

warm them up, while inhaling the air through our tongue rolled into a tube, we can cool down. Breath as a basis of our existence. So obvious

that it is easily forgotten, taken without any attention or respect. This spring, let’s focus on our breath and treat ourselves to it.
