Ashes, Ashes

All covered in the same ash.

Formed from dirt, knit with spit.

Charged with God’s very breath.

Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.—Gen 2:7

By the sweat of your face
   you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
   for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
   and to dust you shall return.’—Genesis 3:19
