Made of Stardust, Original Canvas Triptych

As a physician, every single cell in our body literally seems like a miracle to me. How it functions, replicates, repairs, lives, dies. The fact that our skin is self healing, our bones fuse back together, we breathe and our heart beats while we use our body to do other things all day long without even thinking about it. How we create life, how little humans grow within us and are born. The fact that all of it, almost every bit of it, comes from cosmic dust and stars -- it's all just so damn magical.

We are wearing solid, tangible bodies -- earth suits I like to call them -- and we run a life spark through that body that brings the elements of stardust to life. Researchers estimate that we are approximately 97% stardust, formed over 13 billion years ago.

Could you be any more magnificent?

Can you think of anything more beautiful?

Remembering that you are the universe, manifesting in physical form, in a beautiful living earth suit of stars, and that you are thinking a thought this very moment, your heart is beating this very moment, aren't you so impressed with your body? You are having a conscious experience full of meaning and feeling and using it to interact with other star dust humans.

It's so beautiful I had to paint it.

Here I picked the three most fascinating organs to me -- the human mind, the human heart, and the human baby incubator (the uterus) and painted them as golden light -- a mix of the earth elements and cosmic dust -- with foliage and the stars filled in the background. It's a reminder that every cell in your body, every organ, every part is a gift from the universe and to use every minute you wear it with appreciation. Treat that body well, it's an honor to wear it.

I can see this trio lining a hallway, in holistic practitioners room, in the waiting room of a healing center, even above a baby's crib or your very own bed, so that you never ever go to bed or wake up without remembering you are a miracle of stars, a living experience of soul mixed with earth mixed with stardust... all combining to make up the human you are right now. A once in a lifetime, actually a once in forever combination of these exact particles that you call home.
