A set of bathroom doors,
“Adam” and “Eve”,
just outside the sanctuary door,
flickered in my memory
Thinking about those two, our ancestors
how much would the world be different
if they had made another choice
in that ancient story
How would it be to walk with the Creator
to see the creation, the world
through those loving eyes,
without war, without sin, without fear.
Seeing the newness, the wonder, the majesty
with the one who conjured it all
walking with the Creator, the one who
made all of this possible
out of nothingness
an instant of time,
before there was time
Walking with the Creator
you or I, in the Garden
