We must step back and see beyond the common human reality. Perhaps that is the secret of human beings: we are percievers, capable of seeing oh so much more than we normally do, our minds locked onto grocery lists, bills to pay and the sensationalistic lies of the media. It is such a relief to step back and see the tiny, tiny human anthill for what it is. Our scientists have discovered that the whole periodic table of elements, -everything this physical world is made of- was forged in the heart of exploding stars at tens of millions of degrees. So our whole world, our cars, sidewalks, air...and most incredibly, us, our physical bodies...are all literally made of Star Dust. Dust which took billions of years to accumulate, billions of years for the magic of consciousness and life to form it into living, thinking, self aware beings who now, looking back, marvel at the Universe which is us.
