Imagine: Eve stands captivated by the Tree of Knowledge. She is mesmerized by the serpent who wraps herself around the trunk and reaches for its forbidden fruit. Her head turns to face Eve. Their eyes embrace as the serpent uncoils toward her. The apple the serpent offers captivates Eve’s imagination. Sorely tempted to indulge in its forbidden promise yet terrified to act, Eve finally follows her gut response as she caresses the apple and inhales. She takes a bite and exhales. Energy shifts.

The sweet taste of the juicy apple whets her appetite for knowledge. Eve trembles but she is besieged by the desire to know everything about herself, come what may. She yearns to explore her inner world of hidden hopes and emotions; the ripe apple gives her courage to face the consequences. To fully know herself she must follow her temptation.

Art was my temptation.
