Aware of my life beginning at my birth and ending with my death,
I breathe in.
Seeing that I was already present before my birth in many forms and that I shall be present when I die in many different forms (the sun, the water, the air, the earth, ancestors, descendants, habits, society. economics), I breathe out.

My beginning, my ending

No beginning, no ending
