CREATION

All that there is: is darkness. In this darkness, there is one being, one lonely being. This lonely being knows all that there is, which is darkness. In this darkness there is mass that has attracted all to itself in compact blackness. The lonely darkness overwhelms this being to touch it, to see what will happen when energy combines with mass.

The being travels to the dark mass, if travel is possible where all is one. Energy bursts into the mass as it explodes into a giant blast of ever-expanding universe. In the universe, there is now dust and gasses expanding and contracting together creating burning balls of gas and large masses of solid land. Stars are formed and attract land and other stars to them. Galaxies are formed as groups of stars bounce off each other to find their order in this new expanding universe.

The being catches this splendid display of universal fireworks with delight. Excited for there to be light, motion, and space. Much of its energy was drained in creating or transforming this new universe, but there is still enough energy to explore what it has made.

Eons have past and the universe has become a more stable cosmos of Galaxies, Stare, and Planets. The explorer has discovered all that could be discovered. Now, it is bored, for there is nothing to find which is new and unique. Existence becomes dull and unnecessary. What more is there to being?

Nearby is a solar system not unlike many others. A single star surrounded by planets, moons, comets, and meteors swirling round and round one another in perpetual motion. The third planet from the sun is another lifeless orb of rock and water and air. The time is now. Either end existence or give it a new meaning.

This being of energy has no ambition to cease to exist, but it has nowhere to go and nothing to do. So it slowly unravels itself into a swirling and dancing display of cosmic energy moving towards the planet, violent enough to destroy all that there is, and expanding until it is larger than this planet: able to engulf this miniscule rock in space. At the height of its cosmic display it shouts out its name in defiance to all that is not, "EARTH!" This being that was once intangible energy and awareness explodes into vast cloud of crystalline energy that rains down onto the lifeless planet in a display as if the largest grand finale fireworks show encompassed the entire planet raining down life and awareness to all that it touched, forever engraving itself to every particle on Earth. After all that was once an infinite being settled down into the Earth, a soft wind swept over the landscape and whispered: "Let there be life".
