Breath/Spirit
In many languages the word for "breath" is the same word for "spirit." For example the Sanskrit word "prana," the Hebrew word "ruach," the Greek word "pneuma," and the Latin word "spiritus" all share this meaning.

Everyone knows that dolphins breathe air, but did you know that they do not breathe automatically like we do? Each breath a dolphin takes is completely a conscious effort. I am not saying that every breath we take should be conscious, but when we do look at our breath, we should do so with gratitude. Each breath is precious if we are aware of it or not.
