Exhalación
We come to the world with an exhalation and we leave it with another one. Everything in between is a frenetic, shuddering sigh, a brief transit in the act of living. It is a casual coincidence that the union of two cells, should face a final consequence, death. "Who would be born must first destroy a world" (Hermann Hesse)
