I am a body composed of seven billion billion billion atoms (which is a lot - that's 7x10 to the power of 27!).

I am composed of more atoms than there are stars not just in the solar system, or the galaxy, but the whole Universe. All of my billions of atoms miraculously come together to form bones, muscles, eye tissue, nerves, a brain, a heart and all the parts of my body.

I am the perfect reflection of brilliant, individual parts creating something beyond comprehension - I am a reflection of the cosmos.

My body is a perfect metaphor for the world it lives in. Just as each atom of my body is vital, so is each person. Although I don't understand or agree with all people, I know that every life, including my own, is as valuable, mysterious and complex as the atoms of my heart.

I am a body composed of seven billion billion billion atoms. When I close my eyes, I can feel each one of those atoms vibrating with joy, love, abundance and freedom. I can feel how powerful each atom is, and how that power of love and joy is magnified a thousand times as I become aware that is me. I am those individual atoms.

I am love. I am joy. I am freedom.

I never thought of my body having that many atoms. I will look at myself in the mirror much differently. I am very glad that those atoms work as well as they do. I enjoyed reading what you wrote and agree with what you said about how complex we are as individuals and should be taken as valuable, mysterious etc. Your piece is very poetic and creative.
