From the Songs for the Journey Home Tarot, the Homecoming (World); from the Magic Neko deck, the Nine of Hearts:
The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.
― Lawrence M. Krauss
The Homecoming/World is an embodied understanding that we are more than the shells we inhabit. Each of us, everything in this world, contains the spiritual as well as the material, like a string that connects and runs through all. When we grasp this idea, it is easier not to take everything so personally. And as the Nine of Hearts suggests, we develop a give-and-take attitude that lets us live in balance, with love and with a lightness of heart.
He imagined he could see the very faces of the stars; pale, they were, and smiling gently, as if they had spent so much time above the world, watching the scrambling and the joy and the pain of the people below them, that they could not help being amused every time another little human believed itself the center of its world, as each of us does. ― Neil Gaiman
We were all once part of the explosion of 'The Big Bang' making us interconnected. Lovely to think of ourselves as Stardust! If we stop and think about that, we realize Life is wonderful; we all forget that for the most part.
