While we can survive for 3 days without water, without air we cannot survive more than 3 minutes -- the exception being deep sea divers who train to extend their range. And, how often do we stop and give thanks for the air that we breathe? I would chance to say "not often".
For all of its importance for our survival, we tend to take air for granted. Unless the air is tainted with pollutants, or loaded with heavy odors or smoke, we tend to ignore it. Even when the air movement is powerful as in a storm or hurricane, we do not think of it as air but as wind.
Air is essential. Clean air is a blessing. Let's take the time to be thankful for the air we breathe, and also take measures to ensure that the air on the planet remains (or in some cases becomes) clean for generations to come. And, as we breathe out, we can charge our exhale with love and blessings as it goes out into the world.
