Every line in this poem enchants me.
To think of myself "carrying the earth inside me";
that 60% of me is water "borrowed from a hurricane",
or the Little Tennesse River, or Cartoogecheye Creek;
that the oak tree planted 20 years ago on my birthday
and all the trees in the forest I walk through each day
are "made from the bones of the same star"?
It is the same for you and every one of us!
These are wonders to ponder deeply.
Keep them close as you move through your life.
Namaste'
