In the Watershed

Summary

In the beginning of the Bible, in Genesis, chapter 2 —
we’re given the story of Creation, the beginning of time.
We’re told that God created human beings,
planted a garden, and then placed them in the garden.
We’re told that the trees of Eden were beautiful,
and that they produced fruit that was good to eat.
And we’re told that there was a river that watered the garden —
it flowed out of Eden and then divided into four branches.
Those four branches, carrying the waters of Eden,
nourished the entire world.
