eden

In the distance, seen from afar, rumor, promise, views up, views below, cumulus clouds, judgment, jingling keys, choirs, inevitable, fate.

the past. the place of choice, temptation. you could have it all, but then? the quest for knowledge or the curiosity for something different that you don’t know leads to exile. intellect and thirst for more made us real (in the biblical sense). Eden has a mythical feel to it - but maybe eden is an adjective or a verb? Eve was going eden! Adam edened his life away? it made them “human”, not otherworldy.

A lost and outwardly perfect world that can only exist in the past. A space with finite boundaries. An ignorant space without emotion, reason, sex, or growth. In a way Eden is surprisingly similar to limbo.

Before man, before consciousness. Before knowledge. Synonomous with birth, baby childlike.

Crawfish are a delicacy of Sweden every later summer. However, these days they are mostly from China.
