I Am Stardust and Stardust is Me


 


As I sit here and reflect on my life, I can't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe. It's amazing to think that we are all made of stardust, the same stuff that makes up the stars and galaxies that we see in the night sky. It's a reminder that we are all connected, not just to each other but to the entire universe.

And yet, as much as we are made of stardust, we are also much more than that. We have an essence, a unique combination of traits and qualities that make us who we are. It's this essence that makes us individuals, with our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It's what sets us apart from each other and gives us our own unique perspective on the world.

At the same time, this essence is also what connects us to each other and to the universe. We are all part of the same cosmic dance, moving and shifting together in ways that are both beautiful and mysterious. It's a reminder that we are all in this together, and that we all play a part in the grand scheme of things.

And when our time on this earth comes to an end, we return to stardust once again. Our physical bodies may be gone, but our essence lives on in the memories of those we leave behind, and in the universe itself. It's a comforting thought, knowing that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves, and that our essence will continue on in some way, shape, or form.

"We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of Infinity. Life is Eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in Eternity.”     Paulo Coelho

As I continue to reflect on my life and my place in the universe, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and wonder, am grateful for this gift of life, for the experiences I've had, and for the connections I've made with others. 

I am in awe of the beauty and mystery of the universe, and the way that we are all connected to each other and to the stardust that makes up everything around us.  With this is mind, I finally understand that We Are All One.

I am stardust, and stardust is me 

A unique expression, of the cosmic dance

A trillion particles, come together as One 

It radiates from me, with every breath I take

A source of energy, with light embedded

That will return to the stars and shine on for Eternity.
