"The most astounding fact is the knowlege, that the atoms that make up life on earth, the atoms that make up the human body, are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust." 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 more important than both of those is that the universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact when I look up night... many people feel small because the universe is so big... but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars."
