Of The Elements

of elements - that all life flows from long ago events, of stars in collapse and the infinitely small sudden in expansion. We are made of the past, composed from long ago, and remain mysterious in our existence. What we truly seem to be is an alchemical process, from that distant beginning to a mix of just the right elements, of their every atom found perfect in the formation that they hold. 

but what we are is life.

these elements are the basis of everything, different in composition, yet we are still made of the very stuff of earth, akin to every tree and flower, a singular belonging with every creature too. It's all life, one substance, and of the elements. 

we are at home..everywhere.

so we know ourselves from past events, and that we come from an arrangement of the unseen - particles to atoms, to every element and cell. Yet, and more mysterious too, we also know ourselves aware, that somehow this vast collection of elemental stuff, a process continued from forgotten eons ago - and we know ourselves as life, aware, a self within this composition of the whole. Somehow...

and that's the mystery, all of it - our beginning point as stars, the big bang of our expansion, to just the right elements of what we are, it's all mystery, a somehow grace of our existence. 

of the elements, and somehow now...aware.
