Painting: Mother Earth by Karen Koski
In the beginning, there was chaos, awaiting direction. The spirit of Gaia gave structure to the formless nebulous ether. Earth was conceived. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gaia is the very soul of the Earth, the primordial Mother and giver of life, birthing the Earth's landscapes, plants and creatures.
In the time before time⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I heard a call from the cosmos⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
of such illustrious beauty⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I succumbed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
answering the call of Gaia⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
to help her seed a new land⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
where love was all⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and yet have I to yearn for the affections of another.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
