The very idea Fall conjures up images of falling leaves, burning piles of them, and the ringing of axes as they chop firewood. While each of these images are positive, gilded by nostalgia, their analogies seem ominous, if not foreboding.
The burning after the falling, the imminent death and subsequent barrenness drives home a point, which in Biblical context is not without hope, yet bears heavy implications for the willful.
Yet the fall of Eden, and the continual falling is softened by the provision of forgiveness, restitiution.
