Genesis
Deep within the vast darkness
of Chaos, the ingredients of life emerged.
Atoms, molecules, and chemicals swirled into a primordial
mist to create matter and energy.
Chaos was the lone and primal creator, and from her
boundless womb came all of existence — that which was…
is… and shall be.
First, from Chaos, emerged a female form. She was beautiful
and broad-breasted; emanating life’s glorious shining light from her body of
cosmic carbon dust. This was Gaia, light from darkness. Born lifeless and
inert, she fell through the void of Chaos. She fell and fell, for time
unimaginable until she woke into awareness of her existence.
When her eyes opened, she saw the emptiness around her and
wept. She curled up into a sphere and became the earth. Her tears of hydrogen
and oxygen formed condensation. Her skin became the land, her breasts formed the
mountains. Her beautiful hair came to be the floor of the sea and at the centre
of it all, was her consciousness.
However, Gaia could not bear to unfurl and look above, as
there was nothing but darkness all around.
Hence, she opened her eyes and willed her consciousness to
fill the seabed, creating Pontus, the ocean, to keep her company. His
life-force pulled and tugged through her body, creating rivers, lakes, and
streams.
Together, they brought many children into being including Nereus, Thaumas, Phorcys, and their sister, Ceto.
