      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Adam The Garden - Don Hatfield

      Adam The Garden

      Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul

      I can talk about it now although I could not for years. As a matter of fact I could not talk about it for nine hundred and thirty years for that is how long I lived on earth. Nine hundred and thirty and years of painfully seeing what one moment of disobedience cost. For I am Adam the first, not the second or the third but the first. I am the first created by God. The first formed of the dust of the ground. That is what Adam means red clay or one made from red clay. The first who had the breath of God breathed into him. That breath of life which is spirit for our Creator is also Spirit. That breath that took the red clay and turned it into a living soul comprised of body, soul (personality) and spirit. Forgiven, I was forgiven back there in the garden but often with forgiveness there is regret. I am so thankful for forgiveness from my Redeemer but memory and regret stayed with me for those nine hundred and thirty years.

      And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden: and there he put the man whom He had formed.

      I guess I should start at the beginning and the beginning was in Eden. Eden means paradise and paradise it was. Again I was not born there I was placed there by God. You might ask but how did you know? How did you learn if you had no one to teach you? I don’t know but I knew that I just knew certain things. I knew what colors were. I knew what leaves and plants were. I knew that the orb that gave heat and light was the sun and the ones that came out at night were the moon and stars. God placed this knowing in me when He created me. Perhaps if I had not disobeyed all who came after me would just know. Let me take you back to the garden. How do you describe Paradise? It is beyond description but I will try to give you a glimpse by using the five senses that I was endowed with.

      First, to see it was awe inspiring and humbling at the same time. My sight was better before the disobedience. I could look at the sun and see its flames darting in every direction. They were never the same always changing their magnificent display. The moon was always full for there was no changing of the seasons then. Stars glowed much brighter
