This was the sky over my house yesterday. Such a beautiful sight.
The sky is a constant reminder of my mortality. When I am gone, the sky will go on, into millions of years that I will never live to see. Nothing from this moment in time will be recognizable. No one’s name will be known or remembered. In a million years, even the dust from our bones will be like smoke dissipated into the air. Someone in the distant future will find themselves digging up a femur, discovering it was from a woman, then calling it some strange futuristic name that will itself become meaningless a million years from their find.
We are but shadows and dust. More shadow than dust. A shadow dissipating with the setting of the sun.

Since we are made from star dust and our bodies return to nourish the earth we need to make the most of our time on this planet. Another great blog post.
