every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.
and, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand.
it really is the most poetic thing i know about physics:
you are all stardust.
you couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded.
because the elements- the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron,
all the things that matter for evolution and for life
weren't created at the beginning of time.
they were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars
and the only way for them to get into your body
is if those stars were kind enough to explode.
so, forget Jesus.
the stars died so that you could be here today.
that which we manifest is before us;
we are the creators of our destiny.
be it through intention or ignorance
our successes and our failures
have been brought on by none other than ourselves.
so many things.
people and their rituals.
people cling to things so hard sometimes.
there are no ordinary moments.
there is always something going on.
