She is different than she was.
She opened her wide eyes and saw it.
All of it. All of creation
with the majesty and tragedy
existing side by side.
With the fruit of this knowledge comes
both burden and blessing.
We have been telling her story
since the Genesis of the genesis.
What happens when she tells her
story? In you? In us?
And so this is our work, She said.
To know the distinctions for ourselves.
You can blame the woman, blame the man,
blame God or that old devil.
We have famed and reframed our stories
they have shaped our minds, hearts and histories.
This truth remains:
Love has opened the gates wide.
The Tree of Life has bloomed for us.
Throw off your garments of shame.
Release your stories of what no longer serves.
Receive forgiveness freely given.
Come now with me,
enter back into the garden
and reside with us there.
There are stories to be told
of birth, transfiguration, death
and rising again being told
by the campfire of the Anointed One.
Come.
Enter ye in by the gate called
Beautiful.
