“I don’t like when you’re not around. I just,…” trying to think of her best reason. She was cut off.,


More memories of situations between atom and herself.

She seen her resistance and the neglect of his visions and feelings. A pain of guilt hit her heart.

Which, as a new feeling, was really intense.

She for once, she felt bad for running from him. She felt guilty and ashamed that she hadn’t realized. Or cared in those moments of disagreement.

She felt sorry for him. Her own selfishness caused most of all of this. Her own ignorance.

She heard a group of baboons somewhere in the distance. Screaming and howling. Or fighting. Or what ever you would call their chaotic way of communication amongst each other.


Then another epiphany


“Is that what we sound like?”


” I would say.” Said a strong rumble.


” I was looking for you.” She said in a whiny voice


“I need you to learn from him now. You two must learn how to work as a team. Listen to each other. He is just like me. His image is my own. Once you learn to trust him, and you help him, you will be able to see me in him also.”


“I don’t have to see you. I’m fine with you just like this. You talk to me and even though I can’t see you, I know you’re right here. I feel you. Isn’t that closer than touching?

His hands are hard.

He doesn’t give me the feeling you give me in here.”

As she put her hand on her chest.


“ he is rude and doesn’t consider my feelings. I don’t like doing pointless things like jumping over rocks or climbing trees. Like he doesn’t like to help me gather food or talk about the stars. I just wish he would just listen.” She huffed.



” As so do I.” God said “you see” he continued with a feeling of a small victory in progress.

“If you two don’t start coming together as one, you’ll never “start” to understand.

I understand this is all so new to you. It’s also new to me. You two will be, and are the beginning to my body. As you two grow and become united as one with me, we will all grow. As for now can you please do me a favor?”

Lookin off in the distance, thinking of her own realization that day

she said “of course”

“I see your every thought. I know that you’re already growing within. Which means we are on course.

So please give him a chance to express himself.

One secret I’ll let you know. Man got the muscle, not the mind.

We will go through a lot of trials and there will be a lot of disappointment, now you see that through disappointment, understanding is gained.

Remember to always gain positively. As you failed in seeing yourself in those moments, he also doesn’t mean to.”


Taking a pause to see if she was keeping up, he continued

“So don’t lose faith ok.

All we can do is forgive the ignorance in the both of you.

Since you know now that it isn’t personal. What we can’t see for ourself, makes it hard to understand.

Let us never forget that we’re learning for each other.”

He held another pause as the sun became brighter and a warm tingling sensation went through her body. He went on with a more dreadful tone.

“You see how this avoidance makes it harder and lonely for us?” She tilted her head. Trying to think or understand what he was meaning.

“Ok it’s like this, there will come a time and day, little one. That like you everyone will be running from me. Just like you. Not seeing their own faults. Exactly the same reason you run from him.

No communication or understanding, immaturity and selfishness.”


Her face contorted up as she blurts “what do you…?”

She didn’t feel his comfort anymore so she knew she was alone again. She knew she had said something. Something else that she must figure out.

“I can’t tell you all the secrets”

she said in a mimicking voice as she flopped her hands down grabbing her legs to lean on a rock.


“Why can’t he just tell me everything….at once?”


Sliding down she went to the ground to take a seat, and think about how she was goin to make it better with atom.

Really she was just hoping God would come back where he had just left her. Not just because she loved being around his presence, but because she honestly couldn’t remember how she got to this part of the garden.


“Um Is anyone out there?” Not even a cricket. The forest was growing sound falling asleep, and it was getting dark.

Then a feeling of fear poked her as she heard a different noise from the deep dark trees.

“Atom? Is that you?”

Than another heavy snap of a limb. She knew it wasn’t God because she didn’t feel him.


“Hello?”
