Monday Mantra 42

“We are truly the sons and daughters of the stars. The first elements that burst from the collision and creation of the stars are the same elements that began the long processes that create humanity, running rivers, deep canyons, oceans, animals, rocks, plants and minerals.” - Carl Sagan

As the New Year starts, remember that the original fire of creation exists within us all; we are as lofty as the stars, as connected to the cosmos as oxygen, hydrogen, carbons, atoms and molecules of all kinds. One with all creation elevates us to the place of the stars. Being part of that original BIG BANG reminds us of the power of our own light ignited long ago as the promise of the universe to create and recreate itself forever.
