Our mortal lives are but a mere blink of time in this ancient Universe.
We are born of the stars.
We are sustained by the stars.
We are the Universe looking inwards upon itself, trying to understand existence.
As with matter and energy, our core essence can never be destroyed, it just changes form.
We are the Universe. The Universe is us.
We all come from it. We will all go back to it.
In this I find solace..
