here's an excerpt from something else he wrote... "The air coming into our lungs gets to see a part of our body we never will, unless the air takes us along sometime on its journey. Its journey is dazzling because before it ventures into our lungs to be appreciated and breathed, it has been in so many places it has probably lost count, if air counts. Under the bridge by the river simmering over the water and shifting into grass and the stone of the bridge itself and into a duck's beak and down its gullet to little pink ballrooms with the small chamber orchestras of its breathing, taking the air politely and arranging it into songs that it carries from the duck's quack into you as you wade around in the water looking for frogs. And out of your Oh! into the sunlight of love leaving you just a bit richer and more related to the duck you watch fly away. The air is taller now and moves with greater confidence and you may call it breeze or wind but it is just the air growing up." -j.s. underhill
