Admirable dust!

Dust we are, and dust we shall return. Admirable dust!

In the beginning, through a single event, appeared Time, Matter and Space.
By the big-bang, from scarcely nothing, the universe appeared in these three dimensions, inseparably, and none exists without the two others.
Matter. Time. Space.
What would you be if one only of these dimensions you missed ?

And then, totally unexpectedly... Life!!
In the midst of that mineral universe, a total surprise, an amazing beauty : Life.
The biochemist falls to knees, in admiration.

And the adventure does not stop there, but continues further, higher, more complex. How shall I name what came then? ... Thought, Spirit, Word?
I chose the Word: it is at the summit of what appeared there.
Isn't through the Word that Christ entered the world?

Time. Matter. Space. Life. Word.

Each one of these five emergences is so creative! Spring of an uninterrupted contemplation.

Dust we are, and dust we will turn. Between two grains of dust, since it is given to us to reach such a level of complexity and evolution, let’s hasten to enjoy life, to honour it, to benefit from it, to do everything to praise and return grace.
