In our heritage tradition leans heavily on the Judean folk lore of Adam and Eve and how they got in trouble fooling around under the apple tree resulting in a long list of don’ts and do’s.
However, as time went by and the rational thought showed its head a number of us became “thinkers” and “questioners.” The idea of who came first, Eve or Adam was not as relevant as who is at the top of their game, and likewise.
The convenient arrangement of two sexes succeeds in the purpose of supply and demand for bodies. Many of which complete their life cycle contributing greatly to our culture, others sadly to conflict and wars. “But the beat goes on” as the song says.
The miracle of birth is that with each new being there are no two alike, physically and emotionally. Our discovery of who we are and what we can contribute to our lot is the ultimate goal of womankind and mankind.
I am reminded of the Yin and Yang—how they fit together so perfectly and yet within those two identical forms there lies myriads of different individuals bringing so very many things to the table, and there’s room for all of us at this table.
