Zero
In an infinite, invisible, timeless space
Creation Goddess went forth.
She went forth from the
Mother~Father Jewel dreaming,
wandering silently,
looking for the planet where the Jewels
she carried inside could awaken and come alive.
The Goddess wanted one thing
and she wanted it so very much.
She wanted the Jewels she carried inside
to awaken and come alive.
The Goddess didn’t wander alone.
Radiant Beings traveled with her,
a Sky, a Sun, a Moon, and Stars.
They wanted the same thing as the Goddess,
and they followed her wherever she went.
One day Creation Goddess came
to a portal of swirling colors,
the sapphire and emerald door
leading into the Magnificent Oceans of Earth.
Her hands reached through the colorless winds
of the infinite, invisible, timeless space
till they were bathed in radiant blues and greens,
and the Goddess knew,
This is the planet where the Jewels we carry inside
will awaken and come alive!
Creation Goddess dove
through the sapphire and emerald door
and the Radiant Beings followed her.
They spiraled and swirled in a flowing descent
till they reached the Magnificent Oceans of Earth.
1
Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings
breathed the waters in,
and the waters breathed with them.
They were tenderly rocked
in a radiant part liquid part solid realm
and found they had bodies,
radiant forms cradling the Jewels they carried.
They looked upon their own
and each other’s forms
with wonder, and delight, and love.
They celebrated the Jewels of their bodies,
swimming through the waters in bliss,
surrendering to the sapphire and emerald flow.
Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings
were deep inside a magical liquid planet
bursting with blue radiance,
and flickering with emerald light.
They looked down and saw a mountain
emanating fiery emerald light.
They dove to the mountain
and heard Mountain warmly whisper,
I am the Beautiful Heweha, Daughter of Earth and Fire!
Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings
did not speak, but smiled at Heweha.
Heweha was covered in glowing emeralds
as big and tall as trees.
Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings
swam till they came to the foot of
the mountain where they saw
her diamond~orb root shining,
hovering above the floor of the Sea,
for she was a floating mountain.
On the floor of the Sea lay a circle of luminous crystals
which twinkled as Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings approached,
and they sat down upon the crystals.
All at once they heard a sound and felt a trembling,
and in the center of the circle,
two divine feminine beings,
one radiating sapphire light and the other emerald light,
rose from beneath the floor of the Sea,
and smiled deeply into their eyes.
They smiled back at them and in that smile,
Creation Goddess, Sky, Sun, Moon, and Stars knew
as from a music just remembered,
these two Radiant Beings were family.
The divine feminine being radiating sapphire light
had sparkling sapphire skin,
and deep silvery eyes.
Her hair of many hues of blue flowed
in deep rivers glistening with corals and pearls.
Her voice flowed in tender musical tones
as she said, I am Sahliha, the Radiant Being Sea!
The divine feminine being radiating emerald light
had shimmering emerald skin,
and fiery golden eyes.
Her hair of many hues of green poured
in thick cascades flickering with emeralds and rubies.
Her voice poured in passionate musical tones
as she said, I am Sehetu, the Radiant Being Earth!
Then Sahliha’s and Sehetu’s voices rose together and they sang,
We are Sisters! And their eyes twinkled with delight as they began to dance.
How their sparkling exultant arms and hands
moved in waves, their shimmering jubilant
bellies and hips swirled, and the jewels glistening and flickering in their long hair
and upon their loving breasts shook!
They danced in ecstatic undulations
like the waves of the Sea at dawn.
They swirled faster and faster
like the waves of the Sea in a storm!
As they danced translucent floating jewels
spun from their bodies, floated through the
circle and then dissolved into
Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings.
How Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings
loved Sahliha’s and Sehetu’s magical dance!
When their dance was done
the Radiant Beings Sea and Earth
spoke in their beautiful musical tones,
Welcome Creation Goddess, Sky, Sun, Moon, and Stars!
Welcome Sisters and Brothers
of the Mother~Father Jewel!
Welcome to the Magnificent Oceans of Earth!
We celebrate you, we exalt you,
we embrace you, and we love you!
We sang to you as you wandered through
the infinite, invisible, timeless space.
We called to you as you approached
the sapphire and emerald door.
We danced with joy as you dove.
And now you are here!
We are so happy you are here.
There are other Radiant Beings on this planet
who rejoice that you have come,
and they smile at you through our eyes!
They are needed elsewhere at this time.
Each must be where they are needed,
so that what is needed can be completed,
and what has been wanted for so very long can be fulfilled.
This is why you are here
Creation Goddess, Sky, Sun, Moon, and Stars,
to fulfill something that has been wanted for so very long.
We who are gathered in this circle of luminous crystals
on the floor of the Sea, are the Ones Who Begin.
We are the Ones Who Begin Something New.
We are the Ones Who Raise the first Jewels.
To fulfill something that has been wanted for so very long.
It is why you dove through the sapphire and emerald door.
Your Jewels knew it was time.
Time to birth the sapphire and emerald world.
And through the birthing of the sapphire and emerald world,
your Jewels will awaken and come alive!
As Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings
listened to Sea and Earth they were filled with love and appreciation for them.
They wished they could speak in beautiful tones too. And they found they could.
It was part of having a radiant form. Creation Goddess and the Radiant Beings spoke for the first time,
each in their own voice telling Sahliha and Sehetu,
I love you! I thank you! I honor you!
And it was a most beautiful sound.
Creation Goddess and All the Radiant Beings
smiled deeply into each other’s eyes.
Their eyes glistened, and sparkled, and burned,
with the blissful flames of the Mother~Father Jewel.
They shone their light upon each other,
and their light shone even brighter.
Then, Sea and Earth sat down
in the circle of luminous crystals.
For indeed,
it was time to begin...
breathed the waters in,
