Lectio
Read it slowly, twice. There is no hurry.
5 steps, about 14 minutes in all. Stop anytime — what you have written is kept for you.
Genesis 3:17-19
To Adam he said, 'Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and ate from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it," the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life. It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field. By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.'
Now read it a second time.
Reads the 5 steps and the passage aloud, with rests between.
