“We need to prefer being in love to being in power”

“We need to prefer being in love to being in power”
Eve, who ate the fruit in the Garden of Eden, wanted power over love. What if Eve had a conversation with the divine first, with God, before she ate the fruit?
So many people in our society are focused on power over love. This is reflected in our relationship to the land as we inflict our dominion over creation. We need to step back from our position of power from over the land to a position of love, as stewards of the land. Since the fall of creation many societies throughout the ages have asserted their dominance over the land, through anthropocentric viewpoints over forests as lumber, animals as livestock and vegetation as food stocks. Once we start a discussion and have dialogue with people over the land we can come back to a position of love.
