I Am Adam

In a small area, away from the seashore, Day and some of the women gathered, and Day took the bowl of blood. She once more placed her fingers in it and touched her forehead saying, "This night we cleanse our thoughts and ask Mother Sun and Mother Eve to take our thoughts and make them one. Our thoughts are now pure as hers, and we are truly one Adam."
Around each campfire the leader, when the bowl returned to them, turned and poured it on a large bunch of sticks and then lifted their arms and declared, "I am Adam." They took a flaming torch from the fire and handed it to another who declared, "I am Adam," and then passed it to the next person who did the same. As the torch made its way around the fire, every person who could, stood and said, "I am Adam." The leader then took the torch and put it into the sticks, and as the flames grew, they turned and embraced the person adjoining them and went around until they had touched them all. As they did this, they all began to move their feet and clap their hands in unison. Then, they began to move around the clearing, and embraced any who they happened to find next to them proclaiming, "We Are Adam. We are one."

However, in a small dark room, one sat by himself, far from any celebration of joy. As he watched the fire grow dim, he simply said to himself, "I am Adam Fish. I am Adam!"
