In Genesis, there are only 37 verses between the creation of man from dust to his return to dust. Our lives are dashes between the dust.

In that brief dash of life there is also dust. The dust of our failures, of our sorrows, the dust of our labor and of the difficulties that come from tending to the things of this world.

Is God also here, in the dry places; in the dust and difficulties that inevitably come?  Is there beauty here too?
