If Eve hadn't eaten from the tree of Knowledge?

In theory: The story of Eve eating from the Tree of Knowledge is a foundational narrative in the Judeo-Christian tradition, particularly in the context of explaining the origin of sin and human suffering. Speculating on how the world might be different if Eve had not eaten from the tree involves several theological, philosophical, and imaginative considerations. If Eve Hadn’t Eaten from the…

Faded Hope in Him

Life’s fading whispers in the breeze,The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, He sees.Drifting further, a soul at unease,But do not fear, for I am with you, He decrees.Lost within this labyrinthine plight,I will strengthen you, uphold you with might.Alone I wander, shrouded in night,Peace I leave with you, to bring you light.A will extinguished, no more to give,But not crushed, though hard…

Sacred Bonds

In sacred tome, where ancient wisdom lies,A tale unfolds of man’s enduring quest,To find a friend, a love to harmonize,And banish loneliness from his own breast. For Adam, first among our mortal kind,Was formed alone in Eden’s garden fair,Yet in his solitude, God’s grace did find,A worthy helpmate with whom he could share. Thus, let the lonely man take heart and seek,Within the scriptures,…

Love's Tainted Dance

“I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.” – Psalm 6:6 Love’s Tainted Dance In love’s delicate dance, we once did twirl,Bound by vows of forever, hand in hand,But as time unraveled, our love did unfurl,A shattered dream, a barren, desolate land.A plea for change, for growth and compromise,To save our love, our sacred bond so…
