You are made of the remnants of supernovae,
take a moment to let that sink in.
Think of where your atoms have been;
floating through space for time countless,
spreading themselves across a new planet.
Your fingernails may once have been
part of the trunk of a giant sequoia;
your heart may once have been
a few drops in a prehistoric ocean;
you may even have been the tail
of an immense dinosaur, perhaps thousands of them.
You have existed for billions of years,
in one form or another,
and you will exist for billions more.
You are living history, a billion-years long
timeline of mind-boggling adventures.
What an amazing journey you have been on,
what an awe-inspiring journey you have still to undertake.
Take a moment to appreciate yourself,
what an extraordinary amalgamation
of miraculous pieces of the universe you truly are.
