The Story

He had been almost alone for quite some time. It was just the three of them since the first. He was content--He didn't need more--but He had always been creative. He got inspired--so excited with His plan that He was bursting with delight. He knew that all He had to do was let it out. He breathed. Light flashed and illuminated half of the area. He was now radiating golden, yellow beams in all directions. There was no fear--all was peace. He spoke into the silence, the vibrations flowing on and on in endless directions, fluttering through open space. Blue waves traveled to and fro in the once empty space. He gathered them into sections, separating them into equal groups--His masterpiece was starting to take shape--the proportions were becoming even. Now for some spice. He added a cool, slimy feel to the blue masses. He added sound to them, their soothing music now reaching all the bounds of his domain. Then He decided to add some more color--it would bring more life to His work. Splotches of green, red, purple, yellow, pink, orange--all the colors ever imagined--made their way into His masterpiece. They all were unique, although some of them looked similar. He had a special place to put each and every one of them. He added a new element to his art--different scents. Each and every part had a different scent--some were exotic, some were tangy, some were sweet, and some-- really didn't smell so good--but enhanced all of the others. Then He had a new idea pop into His head. He gave each of the plants a special taste too! They all had different textures, and varied between hot and cold. He saw how dark His artwork still seemed, so He decided to put in some more light. First He sculpted a round globe that shone brightly in all directions, illuminating every color to its brightest tone. He picked up the globe and placed it farther away from all the greenery so that it didn't illuminate the colors too much. A brilliant idea came to Him. What if He sculpted a much smaller globe and placed it in between the first globe and His original masterpiece? It could reflect the first globe's light and serve as a "second light" to His artwork. Then, to add even more sparkles to His work of art, He poked little holes all around His original work and placed tiny sparkling lights into the holes. But because they were so small, they couldn't be seen when the first globe was shining. He quickly solved this by making the second globe move, sometimes covering the first globe so that the tiny lights could be seen, and sometimes letting the first globe's light completely cover the art. Then He thought of something else--what could use these things He had already made? He decided to make things that breathed and moved around. Some had long necks, some had big eyes, some were furry. Some swam, some flew, and some waddled on the ground. He made them all different, but organized them into groups that would get along together. He formed likes and dislikes for each group about where they would dwell, and what they would eat. They spread all over the land. He looked at all He had created so far and thought something was still missing--the one thing that would add the final touch to make His masterpiece perfect. Pondering for a while, He realized He wanted to make something that was similar to Himself--something He could love, that could return His love, and not because it had to. He wondered what He should make this creature out of, and came up with a solution. Taking some earth from His creation, He formed it into an image of Himself. Then He stooped down and breathed into it. The being moved and lived and breathed and loved. He decided to call this being Adam. But He saw that something was yet missing--Adam was the only being of his kind--all the rest of His creation had groups of their species. He made Adam fall asleep, and took a single part of Adam, mixing it with more earth. He made this being more lovely and soft in form, sculpting her to fit Adam perfectly. Then He breathed into her, and woke Adam up. He decided to call her Eve. Then He sighed with contentment, having done all He had planned. His masterpiece was complete.
