God letting Adam name the animals—beautiful and tender. Yes! This whole series has made Him absolutely jump off the page for me. He’s expansive and detailed and hard-working and playful. And so very intimate with His beloved creation. I can’t help thinking of my daughter London at a tide pool—she sees so much more than I do and she’s always taking my hand and showing me some wonder I overlooked. She’s full of joy and knowledge and she wants to share every bit of it with me.

Yes exactly. I feel like taking this extended time with the moments of the creation story has been for me what that journey of naming must have been for Adam—Looking that results in Loving.

Found an interesting read from a friend referring to breath, Spirit, wind. Read it in the same hour I listened to Adam's creation. Loved thinking about breath, body, Spirit, Incarnation, hope, joy.......
