More than Enough

eve had it all-
everything was in abundance in the garden of eden.
she also had a husband who loves her as his own life.
most of all, she had the most intimate relationship with God any human can possibly have.

still, she must have felt she needed "something" more-
she may have thought she had to get wiser.
after seeing the tree of knowledge, the tree became the "it."

i wondered why she had to eat the apple when everything was already perfect
and eventually lost her right to the paradise.
but, i realized that i'm like her, too.

i have you. i live in the world that you reign.
by the sheer virtue of knowing you, i walk in paradise everyday.
paradise is not lost. we lose paradise when we lose you.
