"Eden is a conversation. It is the conversation of the human with the Divine. And it is the reverberations of that conversation that create a sense of place. It is not a thing, Eden, but a pattern of relationships, made visible in conversation. To live in Eden is to live in the midst of good relations, of just relations scrupulously attended to, imaginatively maintained through time. Altogether we call this beauty."

But what if we're offered a McIntosh, Cortland or Red Delicious?
If it's a McIntosh from the Mid-Hudson Valley, take it! (And then say, "Thank you very kindly.")
