"Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body,
the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that
were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich
guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life.
So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth
chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool. That
makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not
that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in
the universe and the universe is in us."
