eve your name is not adam
nor is it steve
your very name means to breathe
so no matter how you cut your hair
or adorn yourself with strong robes
you can't be him; you will never be an adam
his name means from the earth
you are not dirt
you are from him
his compliment
not competition
return eve
let the rain of salvation
wash away your scars
let the peace of the One who made you
gird your shoulders
wrapping your very being in His essence
eve you are everything that adam couldn't be
his helper, friend, co-regent
there is no shame in your hands
only honor in your calling
-sj
