The stuff of my life
my body, my flesh
from the dust I came
unto dust to return
Simple, all are mortal
coming from the earth
molded by the potter
the life in my clay
The gossamer of my body
returning to dust
my spirit rising
high above the earth

“Michelle and I join with millions of Christians
here and across the world to mark Ash Wednesday.
As we observe the season of Lent, we receive
with thanksgiving this opportunity for grace and repentance,
recommit ourselves to our faith, and
remember our obligations to one another.”
