The Importance of Breath
If you’re going to write, you need to learn an alphabet, and then you go on to create sentences, paragraphs, and on to the reason for writing itself: to communicate. It’s similar with the breath, though amazingly, not as obvious. Society knows the value of literacy and has established schools to develop it.
