An Ancient shooting star from the depths of the space fell on the earth. Inside it are the chemical elements that built our universe. For countless generations creatures on earth has roamed the world gathering cosmic elements in the food they eat. And as we have done for hundreds of millions of years every new generation recycles the same stardust to produce the next.Born in the Big Bang and forged into the heart of stars 90 chemical elements have created everything. Endlessly recycled and reconfigured throughout the entire history of universe. And now using the same elements each one of us begins a life cycle that mirrors the lives of the stars.
Chemical elements from across the Cosmos have created a life combining to form the next generation of each creature living on this planet. In order to survive we need to harvest chemical elements across the world by consuming some food resource feeding on atoms.
At first before the BIG BANG the time when our universe was in its infancy. Initially it was nothing but a hot dense fog. But as it continued to expand the fog began to cool. The first atom condensed out of the fog. Atoms of hydrogen the very first element born in the universe. These hydrogen element have been passed on from star to planet and from planet to animals.
Temperatures were so extreme where 2 atoms of hydrogen were forced together to make helium. As they fused, energy was released creating a chain reaction that created heavier elements including those which was essential for life like carbon, oxygen, phosphorous, silicon, calcium, etc. The elements that make up every living thing which were created in the hearts of the very first stars. For each organisms few elements are so important for survival.
These elements are absorbed by the plants from the outer space. Plants emit oxygen as waste during the photosynthesis process. We consume this oxygen, which combines with other elements in the body to release energy.
If we notice, the essence of this process begins when we breathe.
THE JOURNEY BEGINS
We inhale oxygen, which releases energy inside the body, and the waste is emitted as carbondioxide, which plants consume to release energy. Our breath is similar to a person (you) shoveling coal (oxygen) into the furnace of a steam train (body) in order for the life to move on their own track.
The process emits waste in the form of gas. When we breathe in oxygen, a new life begins, signifying that the person shoveled the oxygen (coal) into the body. There is a mili seconds gap between the inhale and the exhale. During this short time, the body processes the coal (oxygen) inside the cells and pushes life forward.
Once it has processed the waste out of the body, the new life that was born when we inhale is dead. After a few seconds, the process is repeated, and another new life is born.
The journey of life continues until the person has the strength to shovel oxygen into the body. During this magical journey of life, the person encounters other individuals who are on identical journeys.
Those who embark on the parallel paths exchange energy in the form of emotions such as love, anger, sorrow, ego, respect, pride, etc. They also exchange elements gathered from the universe with another person through reproduction so as to bring birth to a new life.
Sometimes the train (body) need some maintanance to repair it in order to continue its journey. Whatever happens, the train must continue to run.
Every person on each train develops bonds with other individuals on different trains that have either started before or after him, and sometimes the other train unexpectedly stops the journey in between. One has to realize that his or her own train will eventually come to a halt.
The strength required to shovel the coal (oxygen) into the body may not always be the same. When it tries to load the coal for the last time, the soul loses strength and stops breathing, bringing the journey to come to an end and the soul on the train (body) to die.
There is no specific destination to reach in this remarkable journey, yet it is a never-ending delight. When the body dies, the absorbed energy and elements are released into the universe, which will recycle and reconstruct the next life on Earth.
Our existence on Earth is eternal. It is simply our life journey that has come to an end. Life is simply a voyage. When the machine (body) grows old, it slows down and stops.
Life is a celebration.
