Breath is life. Being born includes the first inhalation being taken of this incarnation. Death will be with the last exhalation. Yet, there is a deeper aspect of these two facts: with each in-breath we are freshly reincarnating; with each out-breath we can let go just as we will at death.

Knowing this is very empowering. We can put this information to use. We are, in fact, brand new more than a thousand times a day; and we have more than a thousand opportunities to let go.
