Ash Wednesday Wisdom

Some people find this depressing. I find it comforting. No matter how beautiful or crazy the world gets, we are all made of the same stuff. As Kimya Dawson says, thinking about this makes me feel serene, like "I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything" because "we all become important when we realize our goal should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole."


So, thank you Ecclesiastes, Ash Wednesday liturgy, and Kimya.



"Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
