The heavy droplets of rain were slowly slipping down the hood of his leather jacket and a few effortlessly kissed his dark chocolate hair. »H…Hi.« I sputtered. »What do you have there?« He walked closer to me and gazzed into my eyes with his dark ones, that perfectly matched his hair, then lowered his sight towards the kitten, hidden under my jacket. »One lil' kitty found another.« He smirked, amused by his own joke.

The atoms that comprise life on Earth, atoms that make up a human body are traceable to the source that combined the right elements in their core under extreme temperatures and pressures. Those are stars, and when they become unstable, they collapse and then explode, scattering across the galaxy. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and other fundamental ingredients of life itself – these ingredients become part of clouds that condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems, stars with orbiting planets. And those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. When I look up at the night sky I know that we are part of this universe, we are in this universe and the universe is in us. We are all made out of stardust.
