What a revelation, those
first moments
crushing the beauty, the
balance
the perfection of that
garden, Eden,
the paradise on earth, the
garden,
Discovery of the behaviors
of children,
of disobedience, and passing
the blame,
in that first story of the
first children,
the first Father, the Creator
of all
Adam and Eve, disobeying the
one rule
and Adam blaming her, and
she the snake
ultimately, they tried to
blame God.
How often have parents
discovered,
heard the same tale, over
and over again.
