And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Christian from San Francisco said: "Growing up in Northern California, I have come to see the land as it is defined by its trees. They can tell you more about where you are than any map or compass, and are quite literally the basis of life in each of their respective ecosystems. I cannot help but feel them pointing me back to Eden, to the Tree of Life.

 

To me, the whole Biblical narrative hinges around Eden, beginning in Genesis 2:8 when God demonstrates his perfect intention for humanity. The centerpiece of the Garden is the Tree of Life, which is a representation of God’s presence given freely to Adam and Eve, not just to live alongside but to actually take and eat from. In this way Eden is an invitation, as well as a promise. That we will once again reside in the full living presence of God."
