The Almighty One was alone. There was empty darkness as far as far could be, in every direction; up, down, under, around, out and beyond - nothingness: a great colorless void. Suddenly the Almighty One exploded. She could contain herself no longer. Worlds and suns went out in every direction. A whole universe was born in an instant. Galaxies of bright, shining stars twinkled in the darkness. The great void was filled with light.

"My, my," the Almighty One thought, "what a lovely sight." And she sat and looked at what she had created, and looked and looked until she had seen all that her almighty eyes could see. "It is not finished," she thought. "Something more is needed. I wonder if, perhaps, it might be possible...." And as the Almighty One pondered the possibilities, here and there, on some of the worlds, life began to form. Rain fell, cells divided, seeds sprouted, plants grew, eggs hatched; creatures began to swim and crawl and run and dance before the Almighty One's eyes. "It is good," she thought. "Yes, it is good. I shall let them live and grow and take care of all my worlds. And when they are ready we will ... ah, but that is enough for now."

And then the Almighty One smiled inside of herself and heaved a great sigh of relief. She was no longer alone.
