"I would lie in a sun puddle on our living-room floor, staring at dust particles dancing in the column of light streaming above me. [...] The sun became an honest broker in showing me what we breathe. But what thrilled me most was the fact that millions of meteors burn up every day as they enter our atmosphere. As a result, Earth receives ten tons of dust from outer space. Not only do we take in the world with each breath, we are inhaling the universe. We are made of stardust" From "When Women Were Birds" by Terry Tempest Williams
