Before Time Was

Before time was ~ there was The One ~ The One was all ~ and it was The One.

And the vast expanse known as the Universe was The One ~ all-wise ~ all- pervading ~ all-powerful ~ eternally changing.

And Space moved.  The One molded energy into twin forms ~ equal but opposite ~ fashioning the Goddess and God from The One and of The One.

The Goddess and God stretched and gave thanks to The One ~ but darkness surrounded them.  They were alone ~ solitary save for The One.

So They formed energy into gasses and gasses into suns and planets and moons ~  They sprinkled the universe with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the hands of the Goddess and God.

Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion suns.  And the Goddess and God ~ satisfied by their works ~ rejoiced and Loved ~ and were one.

From their union sprang the seeds of all life ~ and of the human race ~ so that we might achieve incarnation upon the Earth.

The Goddess chose the Moon as Her symbol ~ and the God the sun as His symbol ~ to remind inhabitants of Earth of their fashioners.

All were born ~ live ~ die and are reborn beneath the Sun and Moon ~ all things come to pass thereunder ~ and all occurs with the blessings of The One ~ as has been the way of existence Before Time Was.
