"I love the idea that every atom in our bodies comes from supernova explosions
that human beings are made of stardust
that all matter is a composite of particles held together by electromagnetic energy
so nothing is truly solid and everything is vibrant energy filled with life force
Thus everything is interlinked; we are all connected to each other biologically
to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically."
