Moving Out the end.
Inspired by Genesis 3
"Choose love," Wisdom counseled our first parents.
"Here is the home you have chosen. Go and explore. It will be hard here, hard on that cold mountain. But this home is the choice of your stubborn, beloved hearts.
"Yes, God is here and will always be near to welcome you. God's love is unending and persists in spite of sin. His compassion is perhaps even greater now that you yourselves are weaker.
"But with your eyes now clouded by sin you can no longer see God as bright and clear as in glory once you saw him. Stick together now, children, now more than ever. It is the desire of God that what one of you manages to discover can be shared. So both may become wiser.
"Put on these warm clothes, stitched together by your own Ama God. You will need them in your chosen home.
"When you look for me," continued the Wisdom Woman, "and discern the Presence by the love that seeks you out, in those moments you will know that God remains with you always."
The girl and the boy; the woman and the man; the parents of our world; the frail grandparents: they lived together as one flesh on that mountain for many years. They knew both love and fear, joy and sorrow, glory and sin, health and sickness. In short, they knew life as all now know it. And, finally, they knew death.
With death came the long waiting.
