And on the seventh day

The full stop, so natural and necessary, is imbedded in the creation narrative.

In the beginning

Things that begin well end that way too.

Siena’s famous daughter: “All the way to heaven is heaven.”

And the unavoidable corollary, that it is hell all the way to hell? True, too.

Every conflict has common cause: resistance. No resistance, no conflict.

Therefore, resist nothing.

Non-resistance is not something we achieve. It’s our essence, our natural state. That’s the whole point of the story of the Garden of Eden.
