Ugly bags of mostly water ... and stardust

30DBC: Use the following words in your entry today: tumultuous, navigate, journey, and gargantuan.

We all have been on a journey all our lives. Like insects we go though instars from toddler to child to youth to maturity... molting our old existence at each step... some of us are then fortunate to experience old age. Along the Way we find out that our personal truths are not universal. Do we ever find ourselves?

It is said that we are stardust yet we navigate by following the routes liquids take. We are truly ugly bags of mostly water. But we look up to the firmament and wonder at how gargantuan it is, then look into a puddle and realize we are small. Do we stop to see the beauty of it all? At least I try to ...

Yes, there is beauty all around us. Even through tumultuous times, those roller-coaster moments when we find ourselves tossed and turned upside down, we are surrounded by Beauty ... should we choose to breathe in its fragrance.

May we all breathe deeply. May we acknowledge that each individual's journey has merit. May we be the best dust and water we can be.
