A Story of Earth

Long before the creation of time there was a small flower floating through the darkness. This flower was alone in the world and knew not where to go. One day this flower decided to spread out its spores into the darkness. So, as the spores flew out into the blackness of the void they nested into place and so created the suns of the universe and by extension the first remnants of time.

So, the flower no longer being alone felt the warmth of the suns in the universe and was, for a time, content. However, a millennium passed, and the flower again began to grow lonely. So, in a desperate plea for company the flower took one of its roots and broke it into many pieces big and small. The flower took those pieces and spread it out among the empty spaces between suns and thus created the planets of the solar systems.

So, the flower went content with its new creations. Another millennium passed and the flower once again became desperately lonely. So, the flower took his root buds and cast them onto the earth. One by one they fell from the sky burning up from the speed. As they began to break apart, they fell onto the surface creating raging volcanic eruptions from the shockwave of impact.

These volcanoes raged and after billions of years the flower grew tired of waiting. So, with his great petals unfurled the flower began to spin and spin. The flower pushed great winds from his body and cooled off the volcanic land mass below it thus creating the various lands of the earth. However, the flower began to spin so rapidly that the planets of the solar system began to spin around the sun.

The flower saw what was happening and out of fear began to weep and slow to a halt. The flower’s tears fell to the earth as a great rain and for another millennium it rained upon the earth causing a great flood of torrential waters. When the flower stopped crying it saw what it had made and was overjoyed, thus were the oceans and continents created.

The joy was not to last. Billions of years passed, and the flower became sad that there were no other plants that it could spend time with. So, the great flower took the rest of its roots and cast them down upon the earth. The roots spread over every land mass covering them. The flower then took it pollen and cast it also down upon the earth. The pollen fell to the earth and impregnated the roots. Thus were the trees, the flowers, and all the plants of the world created.

So, for another billion years the flower watched as its creations took root upon the earth. Soon however the flower was disturbed that there was nothing that could enjoy the plants it had created. So, the flower took its seeds and cast them upon the earth. The seeds rained down and crashed upon every continent. Seeds of varying sizes and colors fell to the surface from the sky thus creating all the different animals of the world.

One thousand years after the animals’ creation the flower began to float down towards the earth to see all it had created. It landed in a large green field wherein all the animals and plants bowed before its presence. The great flower saw all it had made and decided it was not quite enough. So, the flower took its petals and cast them from itself. The petals floated upon the great winds to the north, south, east, and west. When each petal landed upon the ground it broke into pieces. The pieces grew into new life called the woman, made of flesh and hair, skin tones and hair colors abundant as flowers. Thus, woman was created from the luscious petals of the flower.

The flower was not yet satisfied and with a great heave threw the nectar from itself in all directions. The drops of nectar fell upon the corners of the earth and created a new substance of otherworldly clay. The flower then took its breath and blew the winds into small storms above the puddles of clay. The storms twisted and molded the clay into a new form, a companion for woman. Thus, the flower created man and was finally content.

The flower let go of reality and fell into the earth being absorbed by its creation. In its place grew a vast field of pink lotus flowers. For its final creation the great flower became a part of the world it created forever to keep watch over its creations.
