… and in the beginning there was silence. Silence. A thick fog that hung low and blanketed our naked bodies. We all stood arms length apart but never knew. Rooted with fear. Naked and afraid. Eyeless in purgatory. Eons past in this fragile balance of fear and sanity. To live and die in your same footprint like a blade of grass seems wearisome. We wondered what purpose this served. We silently searched for a way out of these roots. Measured movements beneath the blankets, we began to detach. And in a sea of wave we broke. Crashed into each other in flux of tone. Then in awe we noticed our feet and stood free of roots. Wiggled our toes in the sand. And for a moment stepped outside our bodies and walk the hall of Valhalla.
Now a cool breeze steps in to whisk our spirit back to Terra. Standing there, feet in sand, sun warms our naked bodies. I slowly raise my head to the sky like an early Spring daffodil. The sun burns hypnotic color through my eyelids. I open my eyes and see a phoenix burst from it’s core. Then swirls around me as a tornado over an open prairie engulfing me in light. The breath nearly escapes my body as the phoenix curls back to the sun. And there, our eyes met. At arm's length I reached my hand to yours. Without a second thought you grabbed mine and we began to walk the desert following the phoenix. From gradual distances our shadow whispers, Godspeed.
