LESSONS FROM THE COSMOS;
The idea that there is enough DNA in each of our bodies,
that if it were laid out end to end it would stretch
between the Sun and Pluto seven times,

that it painted a perfect picture of itself
in each of our cells to remind us that it is there always,
and yet we belittle ourselves and think no one loves us.
The idea that we believe we are not walking miracles,
even though each footstep confirms it,
each heartbeat is a chorus
from the stars that made us:
" Your existence is valued.
Your existence is needed. "
