Prohibition didn't work in the Garden of Eden. Adam ate the apple.
I normally don't love green juices, but Body & Eden makes theirs tasty by blending ingredients like avocado and banana with the usual suspects like kale and spinach. Delicious as they are, they're low calorie, and the drink names are catchy: I Have Balance, I Have Energy, and my favorite, I Have Calm.
Love doesn't grow on trees like apples in Eden - it's something you have to make. And you must use your imagination too.
It's surreal to think that I own this beautiful island. It doesn't feel like anyone can own Lanai. What it feels like to me is this really cool 21st-century engineering project, where I get to work with the people of Lanai to create a prosperous and sustainable Eden in the Pacific.
Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity.
The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Sociology extracts it. The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable.
Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?
Certainly there are dozens of over-50 actresses who look great: Sophia Loren, Susan Sarandon, Ursula Andress, Stefanie Powers, Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Joanna Lumley, Linda Gray - the list is endless, and these are just the actresses! I have many friends in their 60s, 70s and 80s, not in the limelight, but who all look absolutely stunning.
To beguile is to deceive or lead astray, as Lucifer beguiled Eve in the Garden of Eden.
One of my favorite things I read was John Steinbeck's journals while he was writing 'East of Eden,' which was so cool.
