Breathing

Lungs. Such a strong organ, with such fragile structures. In some situations, I find it difficult to breathe or my breathing is very fast. It is directly linked to how I feel. In the same way, a deep breath can calm me down. Lungs give us a lifetime of breath and at the same time they symbolize how fragile life is.
