  • We are all made of star stuff

    I don’t know if you watched Carl Sagan as a kid, but a friend shared this poem, and I was instantly transported back to watching him tell me I was made of star stuff when I was 6.

    We have calcium in our bones,
    iron in our veins,
    carbon in our souls,
    and nitrogen in our brains.

    93 percent stardust,
    with souls made of flames,
    we are all just stars
    that have people names.
