of a great universe, a galaxy's luminescent "sea" of quasars, meteorites, stars, planets, and suns is at low tide.

Darkness follows . . .

Slowly, silently, the shimmering evanescent feathers of light appear, spiraling slowly into one another. This continues, accelerating until a bright point of light appears at the center. As the waste hydrogen, asteroids, and debris of planets are pressed closely together, the brilliant point of light suddenly explodes in a blinding flash of creation.
