the clay and the eyes thing
yes
very fascinating

you've got me looking at my Greek interlinear
as more than a translator for my Byzantine cartoons

would Jesus have gone far
to find suitable clay
with just the right chemical composition?
so i'm looking at my own backyard
where (in summer) there grows an abundance
of apples from two trees
plus pears, raspberries, nanking cherries,
string beans, squash, peas, tomatoes
and a host of other healthful edibles
with roots feeding and enriching
an entire ecosystem of millions of little bugs

the dirt here is rich farmland transformed into a city
so the plants have an easy time creating nutrients
that the human body biochemically realigns to form into
cell parts

plain old dirt
right under my feet
and it can transform into
vibrant living things

so there's clay readily available
from rivers and streams
and even dry riverbeds
that Jesus now holds in his hands

he could go the long route
and transform the clay into cherries or carrots
then have the blind man eat
but he shortcuts
and realigns the molecular structure of the clay
directly into
stem cells?
we today grow stem cells on 3D-printed scaffolds
before activating the cell's internal switches
that cause the cells to specialize
into tissues and organs
but
this is Jesus
so he can shortcut even more
so the account only says
Jesus applied the clay
and then
--- sight

two cookies and a carrot
and the snowman starts to sing

Although our flesh is from the earth and so clay/earth is special per se, dear Wheels (peace to you!), I don't there anything more particularly special about the clay here. The spit though, now THAT was special. "Something" in/about my Lord's saliva was special: God's very own life (force)... aka HIS [holy] spirit. The SOURCE of life.

Peace!

Your servant and a slave of Christ,

Shellamar
