There needs to be a reason to continue living, a reason to continue giving. As we receive, we should also give, to emulate the cycles of life. This exchange allows us to continue forth, birthing a new existence and coexistence with the world around us that continues to exist. We are smaller universes within larger ones, each having our own awakening experience.

If on any level the microcosm is reflective of the macrocosm, then the universe itself is also awakening and remembering who it is through us. This divine orchestra between giver and receiver, creator and perceiver, and observer – is as mysterious as the darkness that lies behind the stars.

We remain forthcoming and engaged with the stardust that sparkles in our very own eyes—divine matter.
