In the emotional perspective of time (column), love is the purifying element of Life. Love changes reality to fit imagination. A man becomes a hero in the young woman's mind, and a woman becomes a queen in the young man's heart. The temptation of the serpent that brought together Adam and Eve is becoming more alluring now that woman has started running like man, the hunter, the provider... Adam's dream will fade into the awakening dawn, hopefully it will not turn into a nightmare. The broken embryo of love, solid like stone, lives only with its memories; memories echoing the symphony of Adam's sensual desires played on the carved hills of his excruciating expectations. If love cannot also transform lovers into friends, it will be doomed (the cypress, the noble tree for a noble feeling). Adam might still be king in a woman's heart but he might find himself without a queen if the serpent does not soon give life to the new Eve sculpted in the landscape of his tormented soul.Joseph Cusimano
