In the very beginning there weren\u2019t words.
\nThere was the swirl of constellations without names.
\nThere was fire and ice and the elemental signatures of metals.
\nThere was no one to notice or care.<\/p>\n
Somewhere time comes into it, although no one can explain it.
\nWhen does time start? Is it back w\/ the very beginning? Before the words?
\nIs it after the clash of gases?
\nWhen does what never was become what is?<\/p>\n
And time passes, because now we have time.
\nWe have a thread w\/ the pearls of moments hung upon it
\nand we call that pastpresentfuture.
\nAnd there is still no one to notice or to care.<\/p>\n
But later (as time goes, much later) the people
\nw\/ their troublesome words and names come.
\nAnd that may be when it all begins, really. With people.
\nTroublesome words and names. And time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
