Creation

And if they did not hear the deep rumble in the earth, the heartbeat at the beginning of things (so fearful were they of the end); and if they did not feel the spray of water upon their faces (already streaked with tears); and if they could not imagine the air spinning and shaping destinies (hesitant to go outside and breathe deeply); and if they would not trust in the benevolence of fire (burning as they were with fever) … it was all right. Creation did not stop, for it was energy immortal as they were and, while they forgot, it never did. Because of this, the Earth made more of itself, even as it lost some, for it was ever and always resolving, moving from nothing to plenty - moving from darkness into lightness of being.
