   4.54 billion years--is to feel how each breath
                   is our true measure of life.

                  We see geometry of the cosmos 
        in a dandelion puff—we see symmetry of time

           A tangled seaweed washed ashore—

Clouds are fingerprints of passing moments — moments that often go unnoticed. Serenly passing overhead, they offer us moments of mindfulness, simply by our stopping long enough to watch them move: one second at a time, one breath at a time.

    Living “close to earth” is a way
