Disappointing symbols for such a powerful reality. And the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth. And God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. Good, yes, but incomplete. Good but transient.
Time sets the terms of the project.
There is work to do. Look after the garden, name the beasts, reflect God's image into the world. And rest on the seventh day. Transience, like work, only becomes sad and dark after the fall. Freeze the frame and you spoil the song.
