Feel the air go in and feel the air slowly go out. Now picture a beautiful beach with turquoise water on a warm sunny day. There is a light breeze blowing. You can feel it on your face, you can hear it softly blow across the sand and water. Now look down at the sand. Look at all the little pieces it takes to make up this beach.
