At the dawn of time, from mere stardust and gases, from frozen meteors and the distant sunlight, life emerged. But what is life exactly? How do we define it? After all, it is our most precious gift. Life is about breathing and moving and about feeling. But it's also a struggle to survive and a quest for belonging and being. Life can be big or tiny. One thing is sure, all forms of life are interconnected - from microbes to cetaceans to insects and even more - and all of them are worth celebrating. Without exception.
