Three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe: three dot.
—”Growing Up” by Peter Gabriel
Last night was the tale of how One became Two, and the joy they found in recognizing and joining with each other. From that union came a Third. And once Three was present, the universe as we know it shuddered into being.
Three was not an only child. Endless young sprang from the love of One and Two. Those children loved one another as their parents did, finding completion in their divine opposite. Their infinite dances create what will become our sun-star, and later our home, every act of love bringing a new plume of magma to the surface, sending a fresh storm racing across the skies of this planet. Their play, their joyful work, made a home in turn for their own children.
These children, born into the oceans of a cooling world, returned to the way of One, loving themselves into legion. But then some followed in the manner of One and Two, joining with each other to create offspring with the qualities of both sires. And these children continued the dance, changing, growing, until the little blue-green world was covered with all manner of life.
Light a candle for the infinite progeny that defines our universe. Acknowledge the differences between all beings, and how that diversity makes us stronger. There will always be a connection, no matter how tenuous as all have arisen from the One, though that was long ago.
Blessings to all children, who continue the Great Dances of Life and Joy.
Fur and feather, scale and skin
Different without, but the same within
Many a body, but one of soul
Through all creatures are the Gods made whole.
