To Call a Spade a Spade

Posted on May 31, 2021 by crispina kemp

It was Adam began it.

Look around you, said the Lord, at the trees, the flowers, the fruits in this garden. What will you name them? For without a name, you cannot know them.

Then the Lord said, look around you at the beasts of the air, and water and land. To you I give the right to name them.

And Adam did as he was bid and applied a nomenclature to the world around him.
