Moving to Lack

God said,

“Of every tree of the garden

Thou mayest freely eat,

But the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

Abundance,

With a tiny restriction.


The serpent said,

“Did God say, 

‘Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’”

The opposite message—

Total lack.


Eve said,

“We may eat of the fruit.”

Not quite. 

God said every

Eve heard some.


And so Eve walked 

In the midst of abundance

And focused on the lack.


May we not do the same.
