My Body Is The Universe

My body is the Universe.

Every atom that is me
Has unfathomable history—

One may have been a king
In his kingdom long ago...

...could have been a petal
On the blossom of a peach tree...

...a meteor
Hurdling through the galaxy...

...or a star, 
Shining long before the earth was formed;

My body is a million histories
But it's all one Reality.

I am Everything that ever was:
And everything that will ever be
Will be the Same matter that is me

No, I am not an individual
but rather
the Universe, with its ever-changing form:

Converging here, Destructing there
All but One Consciousness. All but One Existance.

So if I may as well be you,
And you could very well be me,

How hard is it to Love?
How difficult is Peace?

My Inspiration For The Day

It's perfect.

Right this moment, I am in Botany and we're learning about how unicellular organisms slowly evolved to become multicellular. It took thousands, probably millions of years of evolution, but they got there. They eventually figured out how to work together as a perfect maschine, so that they would all be better off as a whole.

And it may take another million years for us, but the pattern suggests that we, too, can and will get there eventually.
