For now the winter is past; the rain has ended and gone away. The blossoms appear in the countryside. The time of singing has come, and the turtledove's cooing is heard again in our land. —- Song of Solomon 2:11-12

Spirit moved across the void and breathed into being. That was called creation. Of the earth, of the seas, of the life that filled them both....living things of green, bearing fruit and seed, living things of water, living things of land, living things of the air. All was created in the one motion, in the one breath, in the one thought from Spirit....save man. Man was different. Breath to breath, spirit into man. Man took its own breath, created by a separate thought, a separate movement. Man was such a complexity that it took all of spirit's one effort for him to be, not part of the all of the act of creation, but a singular, separate act. And even though he was part of Creation, still he was set apart. Man was different. Thats how it was and that had a purpose. Its reciprocal. Spirit breathed once, created all life, except for man. Spirit breathed once more and created the one life called man. Spirit and man are mirror images one of the other. Spirit is man. Man is spirit.

Woman is created from man. Woman is man. Man is woman.

Spirit is man is woman.

All are connected. All are the same creation. All are life.....sacred and eternal.
