Do you ever sit and listen to yourself breathe? We take an average of 16 breaths per minute. That's 23,040 breaths a day, or 46,080 inhales and exhales if you must. But I don't think about this. I don't think about my internal ***** systems that connect with the outer forces to push out air from my lungs 23,040 times a day. But maybe I should, or we should. Maybe we should take a minute everyday and hear ourselves breathe, reminding ourselves our bodies and earth have somehow created a perfectly balanced atmosphere for our inhales and exhales. I don't know if that's miraculous or if the universe is just that good, but it's something worth pausing for, and breathing for.

Exhale.
