š You Are the Universe, Breathing
Where do you end, and where do you begin?It sounds like a riddle, but itās actually the truth waiting just beneath your skin. You're not just on Earth ā you are of it. Every breath you take, every heartbeat, every cell in your body is part of something far older and much larger than we can fully comprehend.Letās start at the beginning.

Beginningā¦
š You Come From Stars
Before you were born, before Earth even existed, there was a star.
That star exploded.
From its ashes came carbon, oxygen, nitrogen ā the building blocks of everything. Those elements drifted through space for billions of yearsā¦ until some of them became you.
Your bones, your blood, your brain ā all forged in the hearts of ancient stars. You are not just in the universe. You are the universe ā made visible.
Isnāt that wild?
Invisible Partnership with Universeā¦
š You Are the Earth, In Motion
Every inhale connects you to a tree.
Every exhale gives something back.
You and plants breathe together in a quiet, invisible partnership.
You give carbon. They give oxygen.
You survive by what they make. They grow from what you release.
This breath, this rhythm, is Earth itself ā alive and breathing through us all.
With satellites, scientists can now see this pulse from space: the forests inhaling in spring, exhaling in winter. Earth, like a giant pair of lungs, breathing softly in and out.
You are a part of that breath.
You are a piece of Earth that breathes.
