Adam's Rebirth

I opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar place. The noon sun was bright but less hot, peeping through the gaps between leaves of trees bearing fruits abundantly. The waves and sands laughed at my nakedness as they soaked my body with cool relief from the pain of forgetting the past. I filled my lungs with the freshest air and did my first act of moving and walking. Hermet crabs hid inside their borrowed monovalves. Didn’t they want to see me? Or were they ashamed? Or was that how they showed respect? I heard the cheerful birds singing on the trees. I did not know if they were rejoicing for my coming or just for themselves. Continuing my pace towards uncertainty, a river crossed my path. There I quenched my thirst with clear and sweet water. I found my self sitting on a mossy rock beside the river, surprised by the reflection on the water: a woman sitting beside me. I learned the words with her. I learned to count the suns and moons that passed by and children that I made with her. We found the things which were safe and good for us and for our children and for our children’s children. Not knowing that it was another beginning and the best. To God I must be thankful.
