I am human.
My ancestors were stars;
their atoms move in me yet.

I am human.
My life is intertwined with your life,
with all that is animate in the world,
and with Earth itself.
So, too, is my future.

I am human.
My understanding of reality is limited
to what my mind can comprehend,
my senses appreciate,
and my courage bear.

I am human.
And I see, too,
that you are also.
