The Gods in Their Sandbox

The Gods in Their Sandbox

I don't mean to be sacrilegious,
But I am intrigued.
I just wish I had been there!
At the very, very beginning.
So I could tell you
What was it REALLY like
When the Gods got together
To express their creative genius,
And formed "worlds without number".

Didn't they have the most incredible fun?
Can you imagine -- their depth of knowing...
Their "beyond" scientific expertise?
Their perfect artistry?
Their pure joy?
Their delicious anticipation
And their incredible sense of humor?
Woven into everything.
Everywhere.

If we really look,
The evidence speaks through the millennia
And the eternities,
From the incomprehensible complexity of the brain
To the increasing evidence of a "soul" or "spirit"
Brilliantly capped with the exquisite sense of humor
Engendered in a Praying Mantis, a Sea Horse
A Giraffe, Wildebeest or an Elephant.
Or, the ONLY "you" and "I".

Some of us
Might pay more attention to stories
About "mysteries of the deep"
Or about "magnificent" or "monstrous" beings
Or "carnivorous plants"....

No matter what or how you observe
If you think and focus, you'll see
That the the Gods had fun
Serious fun
Experimenting....
Like kids in a sandbox.....
With play dough ... or legos ... or crayons.
They progressed
With wild and wondrous twists and turns
From kindergarten to "way beyond" PhD's.

Much later,
When the garden was planted,
The land cooled and ready,
The seas full of life
And the earth teaming with creatures;
The Gods tossed exact replicas of their own genes
Into a giant salad spinner
And with each twist and turn,
Tossed out a totally, beautifully unique individual.
One by one.
A spirit.
One of a kind.
Billions!
Every one, different versions of each other
And their makers!

Hey, that's us!

And that is where the story begins........
