How old are you?
Older than you think.
The iron in your blood may have once been part of a volcano…
the calcium in your bones may have been part of an ancient oyster shell…
the oxygen in your lungs was once probably breathed by dinosaurs…
and every little bit of you was once part of a star.
In a way, you are as old as the universe itself.
