“It’s quite literally true that we are star dust, in the highest exalted way one can use that phrase. …I bask in the majesty of the cosmos. I use words, compose sentences that sound like the sentences I hear out of people that had revelation of Jesus, who go on their pilgrimages to Mecca…. Not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us. I don’t know of any deeper spiritual feeling than what that brings upon me.”
—Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Beyond Belief: Science, Reason, Religion and Survival, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, November 7, 2006
May our inter-connectivity bring us all peace and lead us to act in loving-kindness.
