You are made up of 84 minerals, 23 elements, and 8 gallons of water spread out among 38 trillion cells.

You have been built from nothing by the spare parts of the earth you have consumed, according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix and small enough to be carried by a sperm.

You are made of recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf skins, and shark teeth broken down into their smallest parts and rebuilt into the most complex living thing on our planet.

"You are not living on the earth, you are the earth".
