1. Why an apple in the guddenovaiden?
2. Truth is we made it an apple.
3. Coulda beena fig or a pomegranet, a pear ora peach.
4. A fruit by any other name would be as bitter.
5. Thus, I make it an orange.
6. I have the power to name, remember?
6.1.1 (Bestowed on me by the alleged originator of said tree, previously mentioned.)
7. An orange is segmented, shareable, and leans well into metaphor.
7.1 It is an adjective, a noun and a verb. A trifecta, a trinity.
8. If you’re going for damnation, orange contrasts well with the purple that rises with a bruise.
9. But, before you go, a word on The Fall.
9.1 The reports of my fall have been highly exaggerated.
9.2 One understands the need for drama when dealing with a restless populace with tendencies to deviation from the favoured narrative.
10. What to do?
11. Interrogate the narrative.
11.1 Who would favour the notion of a fall? And what is a fall exactly?
11.2 It was a Fall from Grace they said.
11.3 A separation from Source, they said.
11.4 Spiritual Death they said, to frame the route to salvation.
11.5 This route they said was given to them for safekeeping.
11.6 None went to the Father except by them, they said.
11.7 Two millenia of crowd control.
11.8 Nothing nurtures obsequiousness like the promise of damnation.
11.9 Them that think they’re broken, stay broken.
12. They breed brokeness.
12.1 They look for blame and find me.
13. But,
13.1 we were always wonderfully unbroken.
13.2 And remain so.
14. Fly my unfallen progeny.
