The J creation account in the Hebrew Bible (Gen. 2:4b-25) says that man was formed from dust of the ground. Creation of human beings from mud or clay is a quite common theme around the world. For Indians in the southwest, the clay bodies were dried in kilns. In our age of digitality, where the virtual is more real than the physical, we need to embrace our being clay and resist gnosticism. The virtue of justice, physical healing, and healthy meals are in service of clay.
Be clay today.
