Creed.

I believe the universe was created
In the heart of an exploding star.

I believe all life is connected
By its common ancestry.

I am not my atoms
New atoms enter my body as others leave it.

I am not my cells
Cells are constantly born inside me as others die.

I am part of something greater
A piece of the pattern of advancing life.

My existence is precious
One sparkling instant of this infinite time.
