A form made from dust like us is enough to cause wreckage to mother earth, cannot imagine what if we are made of stronger organism. Was it wrong to have given spirit and life to dust or should we have just remained as dust.
The great paradox of dust — seemingly insignificant, but when spirit and life are breathed into it, is born a living soul into this world, made in the image of her/his Creator. From insignificance, this dust assumes infinite worth, endowed with beauty and talents and a purpose. While alive, these endowments are to shine their brightest. For me, a living soul has to rise from the ashes while alive, but in humility, has to be constantly aware from whence one came from, and to where one is to return.
All dust is originally stardust. People might feel better with “ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust”. A bit more stardust falls every day. That’ll cheer them up.
Behind the literal extract of your words is a deeper understanding of people and their motivation > form more than substance. Thank you for this contribution, Eric
oh this is brilliant….yes yes yes
be the root for that is where one is most awakened
beautiful quote Eric…there is a phrase in hindi “Jeevan ka saar”
it means this is the real meaning /way to live life
Where it all springs from, from where it draws sustenance, yet it stays hidden, trodden while the branches shoot for glory towards the heavens – see what you did Soma dear > you got my thoughts rolling out…and I am grateful for it 🙂
Whilst we are here on this earth plane we exist as dust that sparkles, each with our own humble hue…much love to you my buddy xxx (and the very best of with your deadline xx)
Why not? I really like this….have not talked to you in a while….hope all continues to be well with you and yours…..thanks for keeping up the inspiring work, Eric….cheers….

YOUR LAST COMMENT ABOVE – IN RESPONSE ///
“THE APPLE DROPPED WHEN YOU SHOOK THE TREE ”
THE TREE OF LIFE …..:)
HOW VERY EPIC AND SIMPLE IN THE SAME TIME……:)
I was engrossed in something else when I saw your comment come in.
Wow! Ho! Ho! Ho! – you really socked it to me with this one. What you say is so obviously true – so obvious and would you believe I missed this angle – it blew my mind away.

Makes one think doesn’t it….

A wonderful summation and literally breathes Life into what it is to be Dust. Great contribution Dee – love it, Eric 🙂

Root – That is a subliminal thought.

Yes, specks of dust seem similar but can be put together in so many different forms. Luv and hugz, Eric 🙂

Dust by that or any other name is one of the basic building blocks of the universe from which a Supreme Intelligence creates and recreates.
I was engrossed in something else when I saw your comment come in.

The apple dropped – when you shook the tree!
There is nothing dishorable or unworthy about dust. Of such is our marvelous earth largely created!
Very true – Dust, what a great leveller!
Beautiful! humble !The words show the height of humility and express the meaning of a truth!
You got it! Spot on! This is one of several metaphors hiding in these words.
