We Are All Made of Star Dust - We Are All One

Are you "depressed?"  Feeling "less than?"  Worried about paying your bills?  Is life getting you down?  Maybe it's time to face who you really are, and who you really are is a miraculous formation of star dust, living, breathing and interacting with other miraculous formations of star dust.  It's true.  Science tells us that 93% of the mass in our bodies is star dust.

So often we view life through massive, limiting blinders.  We think we are alone.  It's us against the universe.  Well, wake up my friend, because you ARE the universe, and science has proven that fact.  Every element in the periodic table, aside from hydrogen, is essentially star dust.  The simple equation looks like this:  (human body mass - hydrogen) = 93% star dust.

Next time you look up at the night sky, know that you are looking at the power and raw materials that made you.  You are a star.  We are all stars.
