Is in the breath so simple. br Breathe in, breathe out, br Then tell where one begins br And the other ends. br Or tell me it was you br Who gave instructions to the lungs, br 'I have inhaled enough, old friend, br Now it's time to let it go.' br The truth is, it happens br And it happens again, br Over and over, every minute br We are alive, a moebius loop br Of oxygen and carbon br That is just exactly br What we require, br Not an advanced degree br in gas hydraulics, a bird br On a branch is as competent as that. br Mechanics call this device br A governor, and it governs us br Without our being aware, br And it is everywhere, br In every cell and every blink br And every balanced process br That there is. br And you can say br That's no old man with a beard br But I say well it's something br And it keeps us going day to day, br A will to order that provides us br Opportunities, br But you need not believe to draw air, br It is given, and there is no moment br When we are free from this br Casual miracle, br This tap on the shoulder br That says here, friend, br See what you can do.
