Breathing, the world over:

Breathing until you take your last breath.

CPR. Breathing for others.

Breathing for yourself. For enlightenment. Because you’re panicked and someone has told you take a few deep breaths.

Taking breaths, stealing breaths, giving breaths.

Shallow breaths, I hear, are used by pregnant women, who are in labor. Labored breathing.
It was easy breathing, they say.

A breath of fresh air is my favorite breath.
