Today’s word is “naissance” ... ney-such ns ... a birth, an origination, or a growth, as that of a person, an organization, an idea, or a movement. (Dictionary.com)
Taste
In the garden was a tree,
and it’s fruit forbidden.
The people circled round and round,
wondering at its possibilities,
and at the prohibition.
The fruit was ripe for picking;
shiny and alluring ...
a temptation too much to bear.
And so, they ate. Together. Realizing
the naissance of their consciousness.
With this fearsome knowledge,
they clothed themselves and felt shame.
Hidden from the one who walked
the garden paths as companion,
they wondered how anything
could ever be the same again.
