“At every order, in every moment, it is like this.

You breathe in? You are born. Life rushes in to express itself as you. Every moment of all beings participates directly in creating and becoming you.

You breathe out? You die. You give back everything you briefly borrowed, and it has been enriched with your soul and heart, your fire and spirit, your water and adoration.

Breathe in? You are born. Breathe out? You die.

There is nothing threatening you here. There is nothing like a trap! The trap is breathing in, and then becoming greedy or afraid: “Hey, wait, I want to keep this (life) forever!””
