Today we read and think about Adam and Eve
The story of original sin?
…or maybe something much more intriguing
Reflect
We can’t reduce this story to a simple insight. It is complex. Last week, I spoke about Matthew Fox’s designation of it as ‘Original Blessing.’
Today, I add to that – ‘Original Blessing, including vulnerability and even shame.’
How might you resist rushing to a conclusion about this seminal story and sit with its complexity? What insights arise?
Pray
For those willing to bear pain, physical, emotional and spiritual, to bring forth life
For those in power who make decisions that affect many
For those who wait every day for a phone call from a friend
For those who suffer chronic pain through illness
Act
Decide to take on a new creative project, one that inspires you and gives you sufficient
motivation to endure the frustration that likely will accompany it.
