There may or may not be a phrase in the bible about a potter having the privilege of using some pots for noble purposes and others for base or common purposes. And it utterly ruined christianity for my young world-saving self. Cause we are equal, dammit. And there's a bit of a memory I have wherein a very young version of myself is writing out a sort of personal constitution and the one thing I knew for sure was that we all start out on a level playing field. And my mom chimed in with 'well, we don't really though do we?' Stuck with me for some reason. And I guess the conflict may have had something to do with confusing purpose with value. The pot may be an oil lamp or a bedpan.  And their respective value is a very separate thing from their intended purposes.

I feel, considering the aforementioned stuff and some other possible bible verse about man being in God's image and Bjork's comment about having a universe inside her (which I love although I cannot stand her music), that I might be an ear in this incarnation. Maybe. And maybe listening is my intended purpose, base or noble or otherwise.
