***************** we are stardust
we are stardust in a cosmic way and to stardust we shall return we are dust in an earthly way and to dust we shall return trillions of years ago a massive super-nova occurred an explosion of a mega-star the explosion was the size of billions of light years in diameter lighting up half of the known universe it was a ‘mini-big bang’ a microcosm of the primordial first explosion that created the entire known universe our sun is a speck among a trillion other stars within the milky way galaxy which is in turn a tiny speck within a cluster of billions of other galaxies which is in turn a speck within a super-cluster of millions of other clusters that is how small we are that is how big the universe is the remnants of that super-nova is what we know today as the virgo super-cluster that super-nova created intense heat of billions of degrees fahrenheit the foundry in which the very first heavy metals were formed on a molecular level gold, zinc, iron, manganese, copper the iron in our blood came from that super-nova billions of years from now our milky way will collide with andromeda, a nearby bigger galaxy but their stars and our stars will not collide they will simply pass each other triggering gravitational mega-storms the birth new of stars the death of old stars the formation of intertwining nebulas and stardusts harmony within chaos all at once billions of years from now our very own sun will collapse and explode into a nova a millionth of a millionth of the size of the the virgo super-nova a trillionth of trillionth of the size of the cosmic big-bang we are stardust and to stardust we shall return in a cosmic way just as we are dust and to dust we shall return in an earthly way our sun is temporal it will die billions of light years from now we are temporal we will die in mere decades but within the temporal is the eternal because our spirits are immortal we are a speck in the universe yet we are bigger than the universe because of consciousness what we see becomes part of our consciousness contained in our small brain and infinite spirit what we see becomes what we are through consciousness, we transcend the physical universe we transcend cosmic time and space we are for now and we are forever all at once like a flower which is for now as it will wilt tomorrow but which is forever as it gives seeds for the next generation the harmony and chaos of the universe are within all of us and each of us the battle between good and evil between light and darkness between building and destroying within the temporal we must earn the eternal by fending off the temptation to grab, steal, and hate and learning to give, share, and love we attain eternal virtues within our temporal world
