Expulsion From the Garden of Eden - Gustave Dore
              credo 2 - intention
we ever wish the life of simple trusting -
believing submission is its key,
and willing to suppress our knowing.

for eden's story was of submission -
that truth was trust in its simplicity,
and wanting to know more was rebellion.

there is a nexus of awareness that has no name -
that has given the human race it's illuminated ones,
through insight, conversion, and dark nights of the soul.

they describe not submission but relationship -
these saints, these avatars, these prophets,
do not believe, but come to know we are not alone.

for good action comes from clear intention,
where compassion guides understanding.
credo considers what is - after considering what is not.
what follows when we have come to feel excluded because submission was not enough?
