All of this is dust

All of this is dust,

an illusion, a delusion,
an artifice, a contrivance,
a fantasy, a myth…
 
Nothing of the flesh,
of the earth, of this life,
all of this is dust,
to dust it shall return…

All of this is dust
https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2024/06/all-of-this-is-dust.html
Based on 1 John 2:17
“The world and its desires pass away,
but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
and Genesis 3:19
“By the sweat of your brown you will eat bread,
until you return to the earth;
Because from it you were brought forth;
For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
