"then will I one day turn and see

atoms of my old faiths and passions dancing

like dust-motes in the heavens to declare

your glory"

I love the idea that the bits of ourselves that we thought we had shed, the old faiths and passions, are not truly gone, but are transformed into dancing dust, praising God.

"And the dust is singing." Oh what a lovely final line.

Thank you. I needed that image of singing, dancing dust today. It's really lovely. But not only that-- it feels deeply true.
