Stardust

Last night, I saw the inimitable John Legend. He shared a preview of a sterling new song: Stardust. It was a lovely ballad to his wife — but I was drawn to some of his philosophy:

“We have a piece of the universe inside us. Each of us is special and part of something bigger. It’s a biological fact.”

It’s hard to comprehend somedays, but the truth is: we are built from eternity. A mixture of substances from a primeval age. A miracle billions of years in the making.

We all get bogged down in the day-to-day, but once in a while: a reminder to open up the aperture.

As Josteein Garder writes: “When we look up at the sky, we are trying to find the way back to ourselves.” 🌌
