THE SENSUAL WORLD of ADAM &STEVE

Adam and Steve lived in the Garden of Rhapsody at the beginning of creation.

At the time, it was a place on earth that was soft and gentle. Not just in spirit, but in every way imaginable. It was a time on earth when even the rocks and mountains were soft and gentle. There were very few places in the Garden of Rhapsody that were hard or jagged. Almost any spot was comfortable enough to lie on. Adam and Steve took great pleasure in shaping and molding the clay-like mountains, creating beautiful designs and structures. And sooner or later, the sun would melt their creations like wax, redesigning and transforming the landscape everyday.
When the birds of Rhapsody flew, thousands of soft, colorful feathers would fall from their bodies. Some with shimmers of gold and indigo that would catch the sunlight and sparkle as they slowly drifted to the ground, lining the garden with a lush feather coating. And the birdsongs that they sang were the sweetest of all symphonies ever heard.
Often the clouds would come down from the sky and create an intangible white foam around the Garden of Rhapsody making it soft and steamy as the cool clouds mixed with the hot, doughy mountains. And then the clouds would dissolve revealing a clear blue sky. Drops of water would sometimes ascended into the sky and towards the sun to cool it down whenever it became too hot.
Because nature had not established its law and still did not have a definite order, all these things could happen. Even gravity was lawless. Under certain circumstances, things that were not rooted to the earth could levitate and float. This is a time when nature was really at one with itself and when nature borrowed and lent itself for the nurturing and enjoyment of all life. This was the sensual world that Adam and Steve called home.
On one particular day, Adam and Steve sat staring at all the beauty and wonders of the Garden of Rhapsody. It was then that they noticed that God had given them everything and everything was wonderful. Adam said to Steve, “I would like to show God my appreciation for everything wonderful that he has given us, but I don’t know how.” Steve thought that enjoying it was enough. But Adam did not think so. He thought it selfish to just enjoy it. Adam longed to see this God that he knew existed but who had never revealed himself. Adam convinced Steve that if they created something beautiful for God out of one of the mountains, God would appear and thank them.
Adam and Steve waited for the best time to mold the mountains, which was just after the clouds came down from the sky. When the clouds dissolved it left the mountains warm and moist. Adam and Steve chose a mountain and began making patterns and designs on the supple mountain. Everyday they created the most beautiful designs they could imagine and everyday the images would slowly fade as they melted in the sun. Adam became discouraged and reasoned that God must not have been satisfied with their efforts. Adam did not know what he was doing wrong and he was disappointed that God was not impressed. Adam decided that Steve and him were thinking too small and that creating something big would surely impress God.
So for many, many days and nights, Adam and Steve collected sand and took parts of the other mountains and carried it up to the top of their mountain. When it was as big as they could make it, they waited till the sun went down. Adam and Steve stayed up all night molding and adorning the mountain with flowers and feathers and painting it with the colors from the rivers. When morning came, they had truly created the biggest thing in the Garden of Rhapsody. It even blocked out the sun. Adam and Steve thought that it was a sign from God, for they thought He would surely not let the sun destroy their gift. They were both very proud of themselves. But soon their pride turned to disappointment as the sun slowly did emerge and began to melt their creation. They both wept as they watched it being destroyed. After their tears, Steve suggested to Adam that they part to each seek counsel from the animals.
The beautiful designs of the ladybug caught Adams eye. He followed the tiny, delicate creature for hours until he finally received his answer. Steve gave his attention to a dinosaur, whose back he rode on for many hours until he also received his answer. And as the sun was setting, Adam and Steve made their way back to each other and talked of what they had learned.
Adam told Steve about his time spent with the ladybug. Adam said that the ladybug was one of the smallest but one of the most beautiful creatures in the garden and that God had made her too. Adam concluded that size is not what counts. Technique was what mattered. Then Steve talked about his day with the dinosaur. He said that from on top of the dinosaurs back, he could see everything in the garden and that everything was wonderful. Steve concluded that God built the entire Garden of Rhapsody and that Adam nor he could ever build as big or as beautiful as God, so they would do better to build on their character instead.
While Adam and Steve sat talking, a simple revelation occurred to them and they accepted it as truth. They decided that the first step to show God their appreciation was to love and respect everything that God had given them, and that was everything.
