A post shared by Daniela Beltrani (@danielabeltraniartist)

Hari Om

Dear Linda,
In 3 of the 108 upanishad (namely Hamsa, Dhyanabindu, and Varaha)
it is written that the jiva,
the individual soul,
utters Ham-sa mantra
21,600 times in one day and one night.

          21,600    breaths in one day
     7,884,000    breaths in one year
631,130,400    breaths in 80 years
(including the 19 leap year extra days)

We could measure the passing of time with our breaths.
We could keep count of breaths, not years.
Breathing keeps us alive.
And when we die,
breathing changes and exits our body.

So, here
dear Linda
dear like a sister-in-performance-art
dear like a timeless fellow jiva
I want to offer you one of my breaths
and wish you HAPPY BREATH-DAY.

[Action with lingua di Menelik]
[Action with red balloon]

Hari Om
