Breath is the outer world coming into one's body. With pulse-the two always harmonizing-the source of our inward sense of rhythm. Breath is spirit, "inspiration." Expiration, "voiced," makes the signals by which the species connects. Certain emotions and states occasionally seize the body; one becomes a whole tube of air vibrating-all voice.
