Adamuh, the first human name, means "of the earth."
For all the sons of Adam:
For those who are ashamed of being earth,
For those who love being earth too much,
For those who possess none of the earth,
For those who possess too much of it,
For those who need to know they are earth,
And try to flee heaven out of shame,
Doubting the garden they already have,
Abandoning the garden they already are.
I dedicate this map of return.
- From the dedication page of the book Adam's Return by Richard Rohr
