Did Adam have a belly button?.......................
These delightful paintings and illustrations connect nicely with yesterday's thread about the light. Thanks!
Phinneous' post 9 from yesterday:
Here’s a tradition/Kabbalistic mind-bender for you. G-d created the sun and stars later in the week. So what was the “light” that was created on this day?

18. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help to match him:
19. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever [מה] Adam called every living creature, that was its name [lit. he is his name, הוא שמו "hu shmo" = 358]:
20. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the bird of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help to match him:
I think I see the problem here that was in dire need of a solution.
Adam:
"cow.."
"duck.."
"pig.."
"hyena.."
Seriously?
Eve:
"Tippy!"
"Waddles!"
"Pudgeball!"
"Chuckles!"
4.20. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living:
Ahh... "because" there's always a reason.
Adam picked up the key to her secret formula. because she, "ki hi" [כִּי הִוא] = 42. So there you have it. :)
Living names, because you've gotta live a little! ;)
So what was the “light” that was created on this day?
That first light was the very first creation that was called out, named (that we were told about, anyway):
Gen 1.5. And God called the light (♀) Day (♂), and the darkness (♂) he called Night (♂); And there was evening (♂) and there was morning (♂), one day (♂):
See all those man-nouns?! That verse is right out of a song, because if she walks by...
She's got a lot of what they call "the most". She mesmerizes every mother's son. She was born to please.

What's with the light's masculine name? I suppose it's like the age-old choice between Mary Ann and Ginger, the girl next door versus the high-maintenance types. Dawn, or Tina?
Gotta laugh!!!
What [מה] was the light.
Who's on first, but What's on second. It really *is* like that.
Shield eyes from light...
