Stardust

"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” 
-Carl Sagan

 The quote above was the inspiration for this piece. For me, there is nothing comparable to the beauty of the vast emptiness of space.

 Our precious star is one of 400,000,000,000 within the Milky Way. Our island is but one of 100,000 galaxies within the supercluster.
This supercluster is christened Laniakea, which is Hawaiian for "immeasurable heaven".

Even in its unfathomable greatness, our "immeasurable" heaven is only the sea foam within the depths of the cosmic ocean.
We are so insignificant, but in our humility we are infinitely precious. 

Each atom of your body is literally made from stardust. You are the universe.

"In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the loneliness bearable is each other." -Sagan
I hope you all enjoy this piece. Keep looking up.


There're a few easter eggs in Twilight's book. I wonder who can find them...
