The Quality of Dust
The quality of dust is not measured in abundance,
but rather in the fineness of its particles.
True dust contains no lumps or identifiable
bits. It is silken to the touch and rises easily
on wisps of air. True dust settles silently
atop flat surfaces and collects in corners without
fanfare. It is a magical powder that appears
just before visitors arrive to keep us humble
and grounded. True dust is ever present,
waiting patiently in mid air, hovering over
our busy lives, until it finds stillness. It can not
be caught or trapped, or tricked into vanishing.
True dust is the constant in this human-made world.
