In a day, we breathe in and out countless times. We cannot exist without this cycle of in and out. Despite our differences in race and culture, we can be sure about one thing. Human life, culture and everything else are maintained because of the existence of breath. We are One through breath, if nothing else. We breathe the same sky-in through our noses, and with our mouths we eat the same fruit of the Earth. All of our lives are drawn from the same sky and the same earth. We are an artistic expression created by the joyful union of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, we are living today without this conscious realization of our common roots. We are still endlessly repeating the mistakes of the past, carelessly disregarding and stepping on other life because of our perceived differences, and because of our ever-present fear of losing in the endless game of competition that we have made of life.
