Dust and Breath: The Genesis Drop
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7
Our first drop is called Genesis, because that's where every story about being shaped begins.
Before there was a name, there was dirt. God knelt in it. He formed a body with His own hands, then leaned in close enough to breathe. The stars were spoken into being. Man was sculpted, then given breath.
Hard pieces. A crucifix under a golden arch. A bloom that outdresses kings. The fruit that cost us everything. A vessel, a statue, and a cup that won't stop running over. Each one carries a verse, and each one points back to the same truth: you came from dust, and you were given breath on purpose.
Every piece is made on demand, one at a time, for the person who ordered it. That felt right for a drop about being formed by hand.
Welcome to the beginning.
