What has a person got to do to get a move from the city, complete with its drain on your sensibilities and responsibilities, as you single handedly uphold the economy and dependents~~~ to ~~ a new way of life that means simply air, beach and to Breathe.

For a long time I have been thinking about getting a tattoo on my hand that simply says "Breathe."
So I must get the correct spelling for the meaning I wish to apply. Then I see that it is becoming a popular choice of tattoo for others too.

Is it so simple to remember to breathe when every Breath cycle taken is automatically, imposed on the body, by the fire of the body?
Breathing is a function of being alive, and it is the 'fire' of the Life Force that keeps us going.

When we hold the breath in panic, worry, stress, or anger we are NOT letting LIFE FORCE through the gritted teeth, until a deep muscle punch inside us reminds us that we need that gulp of breath to stay the course, for a bit longer.... until Pay day, until next month, until a holiday can be taken, until the kids grow up, until this and until that,  and so on... until the body no longer imposes on us the need to breathe.

I see the city or urban living as boot camp training and the 'city breath' is either about holding the breath for long periods of time, (me personally) while we work out WTF is going on, OR, where  breath is drawn in and expelled in short but rapid fire like rounds of automatic rifles, each breath for each moment of day,  rapid fire breaths getting  us through the day, and so we stay the course for another while longer.

I see the beach, and the 'sea air breath' as a dance we have with nature, while we walk as one being joined with Mother Earth at the place where all things begin and finsih, where earth meets the sea, and the fire of life in us, compliments the Earth, water, fire and air balance of Nature.

How Do You Spell Breath or Breathe?

The difference between breath and breathe is a matter of word class: one of the two is a noun and the other is a verb. It’s also easy to see the connection between them, with the noun being the product of the action we describe with the verb. But with a difference of only one letter between them, breath and breathe still get mixed up when people are not clear about which one is the noun and which one is the verb.

The shorter one, breath, is the noun, and the longer one, breathe is the verb. Both have multiple meanings and uses, and are a common component of many idioms.

How to Use Breath, the Noun

The literal meaning of the noun breath is tied to the exchange of gasses we commonly refer to as breathing. In that sense, breath can refer to the process of breathing in general or the ability to breathe. You can also use breath to refer to a full cycle of breathing. For example, when you’re doing yoga, you might need to hold a pose for five breaths. Breath can also be used when we speak about the air we breath in and out during the process of breathing.

If you’d like to move away from the literal meaning of the word, you can also use breath when you’re talking about a small amount of something, usually wind. Also, breath is commonly used to signify a pause or rest, as in the phrases “take a breath” or “catch breath.”

How to Use Breathe, the Verb

Breathing is a process by which we take air into our lungs, get oxygen from it, and expel carbon dioxide back into our surroundings. At least, that’s one of the ways the verb “breathe” can be used as an intransitive verb. You can also use it to say that something allows free passage or circulation of air. That’s why you might hear someone mention an article of clothing that “breathes.” But wine can also be allowed to breathe, so the verb can also mean that something is exposed to air. Figuratively, you can also use breathe to say that something is alive.

As a transitive verb, “breathe” can be used to say that we use something in breathing – we breathe air, but we don’t breathe water. If you add “in” or “out,” breathe can be synonymous with “inhale” or “exhale.” But you can also say that you breathe life into a party, or that you breathe an air of mystery, so in these senses, you can use breatheas you would “impart” or “have.”

Breath and Breathe in Idioms

Breath and breathe appear in a number of idioms. When you say you need room to breathe, you’re saying you need freedom or more space to do something. When someone is breathing down your neck, either you’re under scrutiny or someone is chasing you and it seems they are catching up to you. When you say you can breathe easily now, you could be saying that you’re feeling relieved.

To take one’s breath away is to surprise them. When someone says that you shouldn’t hold your breath, it usually means you shouldn’t hope. A breath of fresh air is someone or something that challenges staleness. You can say something under your breath, which means to say it quietly, or do something in the same breath as something else, which means to do it simultaneously.
