The Air We Breathe

It’s often comforting to simply take a stroll and allow your mind to wander. Step outside, breathe in the fresh air. Yet, it’s worth remembering: countless others came before you. This realization doesn’t diminish your uniqueness; it simply acknowledges that the air you inhale has been shared for ages by other beings—people, animals, insects—just as the place you occupy has been. Here you stand, on this remarkable celestial body suspended in the vastness of space. Embrace it, cherish it, and revel in the experience. // The Air We Breathe Floris Ammann 2024
