March 5, 2023: Dirt - Michael Hidalgo

A curious fact about the Hebrew Scriptures is that there are two separate creation narratives. While the first offers no detail about how humans were fashioned by God, the second gives great detail – saying we are “formed from the dust of the ground.” Literally, we come from dirt. Recent science has told us we come from the dust of the stars, which may sound a little better. Both, however, suggest the same thing to us: we are a part of the universe in which we live all the way down to the atomic level.
