remember, you are dust . . .

one with the earth,
the rocks and hilltops and trees,
the birds and whales and kittens,
one with all that lives

remember, you are dust . . .

may we,
in this Lenten season,
cherish our "dust-ness"
and revel in our kinship
with creation,
with our planet,
with one another
