The Potter and the Clay

From the dust, the earth
living waters, a wet lump of clay
spinning on the potter’s wheel
a shapeless form, inert
Given breath, life
our spirits, creation
turned, molding, given shape
made by the potter
according to his plan
each unique, yet
in his image made

Genesis 1:1-2:4a
Genesis 2:4b-25
the tension between the two traditions
giving us two creation stories
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Jeremiah 18:1-4
