~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was made of impermanence, of the stuff of earth, the temporary parts of existence– the parts that wither, decay, and decompose away back to nothing-- like stars in microcosm.

A great poem of recycling the earthly atoms. It was an enjoyable creation.

Deep musings here, Sara. What is then that that does not come and go, wherefrom temporary manifestations appear and disappear?
