Adam and Life

      And Adam, sitting upon his throne of grass and trees, wondered about what it meant to love. For a long moment he thought of art and fiction, and deemed them precious, for in his opinion nothing surpassed them. And yet he longed for life, plain, unbound and beyond measure. He yearned for love in all its forms, for the ending of all kingdoms, for the liberty that life and love bring, and then he paused, briefly. He paused all his thought and in that curt moment nothing came to his mind. It was a most marvelous instant, one he did not deem lightly of. And then, when he resumed his imagination and reflections, all that came to his mind was the immense desire for life to imitate art and fiction. Yes, that was what he desired and craved and proceeded to procure. It did not matter to him how he obtained such strenuous reality: it began to shift the moment he thought what he thought. And the sun in the Eden skies shone ever more brightly upon him.
