520 _aTo live is to move. We cannot live without moving. Some. forms of life seems almost motionless, but with man move ment has become essential and habitual. We take motion for granted. On reflection, movement seems a good deal like breathing: another necessary, commonplace act. Who thinks about breathing? The air is all about us, odorless, tasteless, invisible yet indispensable. Awake or asleep, at play or at work, we inhale and exhale continuously, auto matically. It is true we can feel the air, hear the wind, smell the smog, see the dust flying or the cloud-borne moisture. But most of us only start worrying when over exertion leaves us gasping, or emphysema sets in, or the hurricane warnings are up, or the air becomes almost too polluted to breathe. Ordinarily we give the complex, life sustaining process of breathing hardly a thought. All we know is that we cannot stop.
