...wow, this is almost as old as I am - found this in my old (aptly I guess) Bible class spiral notebook from back in high school - 1960...don't even remember who it was to - in high school Everything was TO or FOR a girl. (and I did make an "A" in the class...so there! . . . although I've heard a lot of "thunder" since then) The Gravity of Love When Eden closed it’s doors kicked them both out it was thought all things beautiful had come to an end. But if things had stayed the same they’d not been forced beyond that gate we’d never have been encircled by the arms of fate. The apple tree may have bore the heaviest fruit of all but if that apple had never come down you and I would never have know about gravity, or the gravity of love. w.james beard, jr © back in the real early 60’s |

but if that apple had never come down you and I would never have know about gravity, or the gravity of love. Very profound for a highschool student! Ah, the sixties.....where did they go? hugs, Chris  |
