(06 March 2019, Ash Wednesday) Return to dust
"Return to dust" is not a curse, it is a call.
Dust gives itself to others in flowers, fruits, minerals, bread, and in body. Thus, there is a sacramentality in it. Spirituality that does not value dust, and sees it as something to escape from, does not show the face of God. Return to dust, to find ourselves and to know the Christ being formed in us.

(07 March 2019) Return to dust in gratitude
Earth seems to have bestowed on us the power of life and death.
It pleads today to chose life, that we and our descendants may live peacefully here.
Today we do not see the gradual process of fruition,
fruits, grain, oil, milk... are available in a shop.
This situation affects our spirituality also.
We don't have to be grateful to the shop...
let the children learn to say thanks to a banana plant when they have its fruits ... and many more necessary learnings to sense how we are dependent and need to be humble.
It is necessary before they begin to learn scripture verses, that they turn to dust in gratitude

(08 March 2019) Laws of the dust
The dynamics of the earth processes are a law within
as an interior bonding, not an external imposition
in diverse forms, but connected to every other.
We approach her like an object,
mindless of the psyche of the earth.
The powerful eat up the resources,
and throw the children of the earth to hunger and shame.
Return to the dust
break the unjust economics
free the poor who are thrown out of their habitat
share the resources equally, nature gives it beyond boundaries
give back the shelters of the wild and gentle
cloth the body of the earth that is left naked, and skin torn...

Then, our own integrity will be restored, and human wounds will be healed.
our integrity is within the integrity of the earth.
To find ourselves,
return to the dust.

Time of rest has given way to night shifts, and extra duty,
exhaustion and waste was the result.
Nature has its own time and mode of rest.
It has its ways of production, distribution, recycling and disaster management.
Forcing the nature overwork bring exhaustion in many bio-regions
Keep the rest time and ways of nature holy.
See how it is, respect, and join it.

It is worth knowing the history of ours and our family. It makes us aware where we are rooted, and why we are what we are. It offers a sense of belonging.
Earth has a history, of emergence, spontaneity and of pain
from being shaped from solar dust to bringing forth diverse life forms.
A story of change and creativity, death and resurrection,
but at every phase newer and wonderful forms came forth.
Today the earth calls her children, to listen to her story together,
all the children of the earth.
How she gave birth to all, and how she suffers today ...
Now is the time children must fast, from entertainment, consumption, exploitation ...
we ate, not for food but for enjoyment, at the cost of the earth
We must fast, and pray with the earth, " Be with me Lord in my distress."
To return to spontaneities
Return to the dust.
