We are made from starstuff. The atoms that built the earth were cooked in the gases of an exploding supernova.
Just think about it. Before you were you, you were a star. What built you also built the tree across the street, the trout in the stream, the mountains half a world away, the moon, the rest of the planets and just maybe a star that's half way across the galaxy from us.
When Amergin made his boast; when he said he'd been a salmon, a stag, a wild boar he spoke more truth than he realized.
If you want to know what the building blocks of a star look like just g look in the mirror.
It also means that the homeless guy down the street has the universe in him too. That the undocumented immigrant in the the desert has the universe in them too. It also means that the jerkwad in Florida has the universe in him too. Just like the kids he murdered or threatened. What a world it would be if we looked at everyone and everything around us with the same wonder we give a full moon or the most beautiful waterfall we've ever seen.
