What is it that makes us feel human, to feel our humanity, to embody a self?

SALT of the Earth- the grounding element of purity, safety, the taste, the tears, the moodtides and sanctity. Salt, without which we cannot live, with too much it will kill. Salt, a moody temperament, a measure of a man’s worth.

STARS- the elements of the heavens, the unknown, the knowledge of promise, of fear and of mystery. How they lead us in the dark inky night and foretell our fragile existence as though we need to make sense of ourselves by looking skyward into a vast chasm for answers to life's mysteries.
