This is Eden – 2nd December 2025

When we are born

If we are lucky

We are surrounded by walls

Boundaries, set up by loving parents

To keep us safe

This is Eden

As we grow we push

And pull and bend until

We break through 

With a feeling of joy and guilt

We think we are free but

This is expulsion

Later we must reconcile the

Self we have made

With the true self

We can never go home

For that would be regression

And this is much more

This is salvation

I’ve heard it said that it doesn’t matter whether the creation story in Genesis happened or not. What matters is that it is happening.

MOON!
