Every child breathes the air breathed by ancestors fallen and predecessors to come All women inhale the scent of all women, and men to that of men- Lovers swallow the air of past lovers, trying to emulate its libidinous odor. We share the air that was breathed by our atavistic ancestral reptiles, and, in this way, all beings are interlinked- that my exhale spreads forth into the atmosphere to determine your inhale, and thus is the way of our actions, too.

The Way of our Actions
Every child breathes the air breathed by ancestors fallen and predecessors to come All women inhale the scent of all women, and men to that of men- Lovers swallow the air of past lovers, trying to emulate its libidinous odor. We share the air that was breathed by our atavistic ancestral reptiles, and, in this way, all beings are interlinked- that my exhale spreads forth into the atmosphere to determine your inhale, and thus is the way of our actions, too.
