And the Word was Woman
A creation myth

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the God gave birth to the stars and symbols.
The stars became life and symbols gave meaning.
Life came to earth breathing into all creatures,
allowing meaning to root inside all of sound.

The sounds of language echoed out from the planet
and life in the living was a looking glass landscape,
reflecting the symbols and stars, both sacred and sonic.
God looked into the mirror, seeing self in a single sign:
the word that came first, a word full of wonder.

Through all of time, the Word was with God,
and that Word was Woman.
