Adam found that Eve’s absence was a gift of sorts. He organized his days around a much deeper plunge into the discipline he and Eve had settled on. It combined the recitation silently or softly of the prayer Eve had written, based on the words Jesus was said to have passed on to his disciples when they asked how to pray. The words came to him easily. They were part of him.
Abba whose home in heaven is
Hallowed and holy is your name
Let your realm come your will be done
Till earth and heaven are the same
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive the wrongs that we have done
As we forgive those who do wrong
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from evil Lord
And guide us safely to your shore
Yours is the power to heal and mend
Yours is the glory evermore
This was always in Adam’s mind but these days he had not one but two times when he would walk out of his small house and go back and forth using this prayer and the colloquy as a basis for moving forward on the project he and Eve were giving their lives to.
EVE is now published and can be found among my Kindle books
