The Universe is in Us

When I shared with my husband that I believed fairies to be the spirits of stardust he showed me this awesome quote from Neil deGrasse Tyson presented by Zen Pencils, which has been made into the video I've shown above.  The video artistically shares Tyson's response when he was asked by a TIME magazine reader, "What is the most astounding fact in the universe?"  According to Tyson:

The most astounding fact is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on earth, the atoms that make up the human body, are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core, under extreme temperatures and pressure. These stars, when unstable in their later years, collapsed and exploded, scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy.  Guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself.  These ingredients become part of gas clouds that condense and then collapse, forming the next generation of solar systems, stars with orbiting planets.  And these planets now have the ingredients for life.  So when I look up at the night sky, I know that yes we are part of this universe.  We are in this universe.  But perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.

The universe being in us is such a beautiful sentiment.  It's very relatable to how I view fairies.  Fairies are in us too, as the spirits of stardust (or enriched guts of stars, as Tyson so eloquently puts it).  Just as the stardust works together to form our cells, and the cells work together to form our body, so do the fairies work together to form our spirit.
