Day of Pentecost (5/23/21) – Garrett Yates

“Human beings take around 650,000,000 breaths in their lifetime;

About 25,000 a day. How many of those are we aware? 

My Apple watch rings once an hour with a reminder to Breathe. 

It’s kind of annoying: 

What does it think I’ve been doing for the last hour? 

It doesn’t give me a reminder to tell my heart to pump blood

Or to my intestines to digest food.

Why does it suppose I’ve neglected my breath?”
