The most astounding fact is the knowledge that the
atoms that comprise life on Earth the atoms that
make up the human body are traceable to the
crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy
elements in their core under extreme temperatures
and pressures. These stars, the high mass ones
among them went unstable in their later years they
collapsed and then exploded scattering their
enriched guts across the galaxy guts made of
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all the fundamental
ingredients of life itself. These ingredients
become part of gas cloud that condense, collapse,
form the next generation of solar systems stars
with orbiting planets, and those planets now have
the ingredients for life itself. So that when I
look up at the night sky and I know that yes, we
are part of this universe, we are in this universe,
but perhaps more important than both of those facts
is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on
that fact, I look up

many people feel small
because they're small and the Universe is big but
I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.
There's a level of connectivity. That's really what
you want in life, you want to feel connected, you
want to feel relevant you want to feel like a
participant in the goings on of activities and
events around you That's precisely what we are,
just by being alive...
