In the beginning there was dirt and there was water.
Each entity lived separate from the other and they were content.

The dirt was strong, independent, grounded and valued stability.
Dirt loved to spend its time forming strong mountains and fortifications.

The water was unpredictable, nomadic, flowing, and valued flexibility and spontaneity.
Water loved to spend its time traveling and swelling and receding with the phases of the great moon.

Although both dirt and water were happy, inside them stirred a longing for something more.
They wondered what they could be if they could harness a new power.
They wondered what way of being they didn’t already know?

Well, be careful what you wish for.
Because suddenly and without much warning, the great full moon shone her light on the dry and lonely expanse of the dirt and on the longing of the water for substance and form.
The great full moon used her power to beckon the dirt toward the water, simultaneously swelling the water to a great tidal wave.
The dirt and the water crashed into one another.

On and on they tumbled and rolled for what felt like an eternity.
From this great romp, the power of imagination was born.
Within one another now, dirt had the ability to see further beyond the structures it had once known, and water had the ability to manifest its flowing creativity into reality.

From this magical connection sprung a beautiful unique seedling, the likes of which neither had seen before. This seedling of imagination created inspiration, and a new way of life was born.

In the end, all was pure possibility.
