Life for Adam

There was such a warm and bright afternoon, breezing with some new sparkling Words: future and ... some unutterable name. The day when Adam was lying under the Tree in the Garden teeming with visible and invisible Life, remembering the chasing of stray flames of lights they happily finally caught with Him. Oh He…. Adam dreamt so much to be like Him… His manner of speaking, His silence, His far and always close eyes… Oh how he would like to do something pleasant for him to surprise….

He was lying under the Tree when suddenly he heard some noise between branches… (I need to say that it was not a typical tree we use seeing now, it was big and cosmic tree, and Adam, without any desire to mock, I must say, was much more impressive than his sons nowadays). Thus he lifted up his eyes and saw a great precious stone falling from the top of the Tree. Was it a small planet or some star? They were floating here and there around the universe he was granted by Him… and there was nothing special in that one little stone at the first sight. But now this was lying, shimmering with joy in front of him and without any doubts (though of course Adam didn’t not know any doubts at all) it longed to be revealed and wanted to be disclosed and free from the laws of gravitation.

“Who are you?” there were the words Adam murmured at the first time in the ambience of new magic presence.

“I am Life” , there was an answer, and in the next moment a marvellous Creature appeared before Him. “I am a fruit of the tree of Life, I am your Life, I am Eve”, the sounds teemed like music and Adam stretched his hand to touch the new universe that just had been born upon his hidden desire… Her name itself was like a sweet and magic music.

He suddenly felt that he had been waiting for this meeting as if it was his Life, as if it somehow came from him… from his body…. Oh he should run to Him immediately and tell him about this precious Stone-Eve, about something that was coming from Eve radiated with such a joy! But things and events in the Garden were seen from every corner and for all…So in the glory of the birth of Eve, the angels started singing "Halleluiah", praising Him, wondering and surprising more and more…

“I have also another name, she said. Amidst the crown of the Tree where I lived, they often called me Love playing with letters and meanings. I know who you are. You are the Son of my God, whose name is so marvellous”.

Adam came to Eve and took her hand. That was the meeting of two systems of imagination, when dream of God and Adam was embodied into One.

“I, Love, You too ” said Adam practicing with new combinations of the letters and their positions, and suddenly he was speared by the light of the Precious Stone, Eve was smiling and he recognized the sense of Life.

Hi, Proserpine. There are some beautiful passages, while there are some that I can't quite put my finger on.

Does it have to do with the Eastern mysticism that you are into?

Nice music and a nice face-lift too! Ciao!
