All One...

We are all made of the same star stuff.
Not only all humans on the planet,
not only all mammals, insects, reptiles,
but everything from the core of the earth
to the single cells that paved the way to you and me.
The first primitive plants
took the initiative to evolve
into the vast complex variety that we have today.
Look at the diversity of trees birds fish -
all interconnected and dependent
on sunshine and air and water.
The improbability of life on this little ball in space -
when we pay attention -
boggles the mind
and we begin to feel a kinship
with all things.
We are made of the same stuff, after all!
