I love the cover photo, I can see a woman there… dressed in nature. As I read, I realise that this woman could be eve. This was so poetic and magnetic, filled with wisdom. Very talented and informative about the world in between where we are, I feel as though you’re getting wisdom from a higher power. Inspiration from something bigger. This was a very profound line: "I was given seclusion. He was handed an answer. Sure, it came from him, but when you are the cancer, what counts as sin?” ~ are you saying if we are filled with sin, or conceived through sin… at what point does the sin end and we begin once washed? Or is it that we can’t get away from sin, or maybe that sin is like cancer it takes over the whole body or infect whoever came from the source of it e.g eve. I love the places you’re taking my mind with this piece. I also love how it’s all written in dialogue, it makes it mysterious but captivating.
