They say we are made of stars.
In our blood, iron from worlds beyond trees.
Golden wishes from aeons past.
The seedlings of humanities deepest dreams.
Who are we really?
Poetry and stardust
Bone and marrow
Flesh and soul
Heart and hearth
Tears and scars
Conditioning and freedom
Humility and wisdom
Foible and folly
Drama and comedy
Error and perfection
Coiled tight. Coming undone.
Remembering
Transforming.
Between ages
Between stories
Between breath
Between star and soul
Human being. Becoming

One of my favourite topics Lisa.
We have a fond memory of seeing “Hair” on a London stage in the late 60’s.
The Periodic Table is a thing of beauty, arranging properties of all the elements found on earth in tabular fashion according to their atomic structure and, here’s the rub, that the atomic structure of say iron or oxygen on earth are identical to samples of those elements found throughout the universe.
The merging of the spirit and science of stardust provides for me the all the stuff needed for my dreams.

well, i love that you weave music in there too, hu… but i agree wholeheartedly. it’s when science injects such wonder and awe in my mind that i think i’m the closest i’ll get to enlightenment. not actually having the answers to anything, but hovering in a state of rapturous awe… thanks for sharing.
