It’s an eternal truth: everything is stardust. Every atom in this exquisitely detailed universe began in the radiant hearts of ancient, far distant stars. And everything we know is a derivative of that sacred cycle of igniting and dying suns. I believe the fleeting flame of our consciousness – this intricate layering of delicately tuned perceptions and connections – is a brilliant distillate of that divine process. For an incisive moment, all of us are stars. This understanding illuminates my connection to the landscapes I travel, the objects I create, and the beings I am blessed to meet along the way.
