And so, at least symbolically, the blood of Eve courses through each one of her daughters' veins. We are each associated with life; each subject to the impossible expectations and cruel projections of men; each fallen, blamed, and misunderstood; and each stubbornly vital to the process of bringing something new--perhaps something better--into this world. . . We are each an Eve.
It is odd how one can feel like someone else early in the morning - bigger, cleaner, so much more alive.
