If you do not yet believe that you are one with the
universe, please read the following:
"Every atom in your body is billions of years old.
Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe and a major feature of your
body, was produced in the big bang 13.7bn years ago. Heavier atoms such as
carbon and oxygen were forged in stars between 7bn and 12bn years ago, and
blasted across space when the stars exploded. Some of these explosions were so
powerful that they also produced the elements heavier than iron, which stars
can't construct. This means that the components of your body are truly ancient:
you are stardust."

"We are stardust.
Billion year old carbon.
We are golden..
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." - Joni Mitchell
