Section 1 The first day of the life of Adam

Something has started inside: as though from trend of a silent wind. A silent wind? Memory has involuntarily strained, but and was not remembered any case when on him the wind blew...*1 Means for the first time, has prompted consciousness. The consciousness was extraordinary clear. Any sound suddenly was heard... No, it even was not simply a sound, but a sound consisting of many unfamiliar sounds: a far snapping of cicadas, shouts of birds. * 2 later, recollecting it, he could tell, that it were shouts of birds, but during those first instants he did not know still to whom they belong, * 3 and simply listened to them. Eyes have been still close, * 4 but eyelids, having begun to tremble, a little slightly opened and inside, in consciousness, light has scattered. Light... This word for some reason too was familiar* 5 but whence? What light white, bright, pure... The thought worked accurately, but again he could not remember any case when he saw a light earlier. Consequently, for the first time too. . Eyes have opened more widely and then as if weaved of a pure white light the Light image suddenly was clearly designated and words have sounded: Thee is my creation, the man. This day have I created thee.* 6 Light image inspired awesomeness, boundless respect and in something fear. «The God! »: the thought has at lightning speed flashed. The God, taking the man for a right hand, has lifted him, and he stood up.* 7 Whole ocean of novel feelings has gushed over Adam: widely opened eyes it as though absorbed in himself the fascinating surrounding reality where all for him was for the first time. The man felt himself strong, but for overwhelmed by emotion the head has slightly begun to spin. However Adam felt a strong hand God's, supporting him. Everything that Adam saw was seen him for the first time: trees, a grass and the earth. The grass was emerald-green, magnificent, in places equal stood up straight the man. The foliage looked light green close and dark green files in the distance. Before Adam towered a plant similar to moss of metre height.* 8 Thickness of its stalk exceeded a thickness of a leg.

The knowledge of language has been enclosed in Adam's memory even at his creation; however in his memory there were no names of animals, birds and other creations: all these words should be found by Adam himself. Yet not having made a one step (his first step was still ahead!) Adam has received such loads of impressions! Adam long looked at the Creator, and his heart was filled with difficultly expressing warmth and light so he did not wish to take away a look. But the Lord by easy movement has motivated to make the first step: here it is not absolutely confident yet the foot is brought, here is already lowered. The first step in his life is made! In heart it was extraordinary joyful. A step more, then some more... Face of Adam was lighted up by a smile, the first smile in his life! On a little-used terrestrial track there were two: the Creator led by hand the happy creation!

The sun stood still high up.* 9 Adam moved already independently, with a smile recollecting those steps first in his life and as then suddenly he wanted to run, and he has run! The chest rose from fast run and happiness. To everything, that Adam saw, he had a business: that was got down to look at the sun, but out of this it has turned out nothing: for eyes it became sick. That by hours looked at the earth underfoot: it was little-used, protogenic, on it any person never before did not go, but Adam has noticed some dents on the earth. These dents were not similar to his own traces, but he has understood, that someone or something else went by the ground, besides him, Adam. The Creator was next to him and has told, that will soon lead to him of those which traces he saw. That first day Adam has been busy by examining of each leaf, each blade of grass. The refined form trees and plants surrounded him for which do not have even names in the modern language.Before Adam the grove of plants similar to asparagus was stretched.*10 He reflected and on himself, examing the hands and feet that he is fearfully and wonderfully made.*11 Adam so got carried away with beauty of surrounding world that he has not recollected and meal. Actually, to recollect he has not nothing, after all never earlier he ate and at all did not eat any time in the life!
