creation.

CONTENT

One of the chief marks of the fall is that we get tired of everything.
Sunsets, you visit the Alps for the first time and you're breathless. By
the afternoon, you're going to watch TV.

One day, and it's old hat. Not so little children, Chesterton said.
Little children keep saying, do it again, daddy, do it again, daddy.

And sometimes you test them to see if they'll ever stop, and they never
stop. You always run out of juice before the child does. And he says,
that's because they have not quite been jaundiced yet.

There's some little remnant about the original there. Even though
they're fallen, that's the way Adam and Eve would have been. Sun came
up, Eve, look, he did it again.

Can you believe the sun came up? And there would be this incredible
sense of wonder.
