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.
