That "empty" space. AIR ---1.2.3. Breathe!

Yesterday I was diagnosed with severe lung inflammation.  It wasn't a virus or a bacteria, nor a blood clot.  Instead my doctor and I believe it was due to an acute inhalation of smoke from a simple "I burned something (happened to be oatmeal) on the stove and the apartment filled with smoke" event.  Pollution.  I've been struggling to breathe for several weeks and have been inspired by watching others breathe (and they have no idea how miraculous those breaths are).

We live on/within an amazing planet and atmosphere.  That 'empty space' that which I can't see is one of the most amazing ingredients on Planet Earth.  According to wikipedia ". Dry air contains roughly (by volume) 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%."  Just the right amount.....amazing. 

We breathe air as fish breathe water.
