You
can choose to use a garden as a metaphor
in
life. The Old Testament did such a thing, as
it
casts believers out before they even have a
chance.
Thus in birth, we are forced to start all
over
again. The Way is rocky and winding in
places,
and many spend a lifetime trying to
locate
Eden again. (Even GPS can’t give us
true
and precise directions, for each must find
their
own way.) Keep in mind, my friends,
Forbidden
Fruit is still plentiful today. The
human
condition demands we fashion and
mold
serpents of our own making every day.
C’mon,
man, give me a break! I’ve found
Paradise
on Earth a thousand times, and was
motivated
to move on. One perfect rose in the
garden
has proven to be insufficient for me.
And
thorny and prickly as that stem may have
been,
I am compelled, as long as I live and breath,
to
keep searching for another. You see, I know
Eden
when I see it. As for me, Eden (metaphor-
ically
speaking) must provide variety.
