through adam's eyes by rebekah schragg (brene brown rising strong TXT) 📕

from fig leaves and I could no longer see her beautiful body.
When our first child was born, she was in so much pain. It was a terrible experience for her. I knew that what we had done was wrong and we tried hard not to anger the King anymore, but we failed at it.
He always forgave us, though, we tried to raise our children to know and love him. But like us they didn’t always listen. I’m sure you know the rest of the story because you are living it every day. I am truly sorry that Eve and I made this world what it is. If we had just listened to the King imagine what your world would be like.
But my time with you must come to an end now. I have told you of all the King’s creations and of the beginning of our world. Take care of our world, it is the only we have and the King created it especially for mankind.
Thank you for letting me tell you my story. I hope you have enjoyed it. He stood and bowed slowly, leaning on his cane. He walked off the stage and the lights went on. The crowd sat silent for a moment almost afraid to speak and break the spell they had been under. As the lights came on, the room filled with a thundering applause.
