What’s in a breath

It’s about being alive—that incredible miracle that came and touched you in that first breath that came into you. And because you took that breath, you had a mother. Because you took that breath, you had a father. Because you took that breath, you were alive. Because you took that breath, you could go home.

Ha! You took the breath. You were alive. And since then, my God, what a symphony it has been. The exercise, the agendas, the careers, then all of this that’s going on. You’re aware of the things, but you’re not aware of why you are aware of those things.

Point here is, do you know that you are alive? Do you know what it means to be alive? Do you know the power of being alive? What’s in a breath? It makes you what you are.
