A Cosmic Love
A Mythology for Lunar New Year, in Three Acts
PROLOGUE
From within the inner reaches of outer space, The Void, undifferentiated, uncategorised, infinite, was becoming. Its source, ineffable and nameless, exhaled the Music of the Spheres.
Imbued with Harmony’s eternal law was Zero, The Silent Seed, Zero, The Primordial Circle: supple, curved, enclosed yet boundless, empty and complete.
And in the spontaneous nature of The Unmanifest, all was random, and all was written too. Virtuosity and grace were its qualities; wild and womb-like, its features.
There was no such thing as language, yet Wholeness itself possessed fluency. Movement after movement followed in a seemingly silky silence.
Yet Nothing and Everything vibrated—a gentle, imperceptible hum—rippling and dissolving as the Grand Symphony of the Universe. And so began an unfolding only the Divine could name.
I.
For aeons and aeons, in the darkness, Nothing and Everything contemplated, waited. And from the hush of Eternity, an ember suddenly declared itself—igniting.
Trembling and shaking—One—a Spark of Awareness arose from perpetual Night and cast itself upon the contours of the World. Light had but a body once more.
This Sun directed an adoring radiance upon the dust and upon the shadow. Warmth, generosity and true reflection became the qualities of the Universe.
Sol held his station in the celestial field. His rays flared across the vastness of space; his integrity blazed for all to see.
The Cosmos, invigorated by such luminous action, swayed with the Song of the Divine and the Lion of Light took up his mantle in the sky, creating Day.
II.
But Night did not abandon. Nae, Night merely took pause; to rest just beyond the rim of light, her body draped in a tapestry of stars.
Luna, the Witnesser, reminding the myriad of things where there is light, there too shadow is forever entwined. A dance of alchemical magnitude ensued, forming the lattice of the woven World.
And from her unseen, oceanic depths, Devotion emanated throughout the Cosmos. In dyadic dialogue, Sun and Moon attuned as eternal beloveds. And behold! how The Vessel and The Flame move in true reciprocity.
Their choice had been made. And so unfolded the profound Mystery of Two, in resonance with One another.
Now nourished by the sweet nectar of Intuition, the Cosmos pulsed with complexity, illuminated by Day and by Night, by the counterpoint of their harmony.
III.
And then as if by magic, sprouting from the dark soil of the Universe, the crescendo of Sacred Union reverberated and sang forth across the infinite horizon.
Waves upon waves, echoing and crashing, weaving in and out of time and space, shook the foundations of the Cosmos.
And by Mystery’s hand, a new vibration began to take shape: a Third voice in the cosmic chord. Forged of fire and water, Earth, a Star-Child, a Seedling stepped precariously into orbit, germinating in the vast landscape.
Shimmering with silver seas and golden-flecked peaks, kindled from the soldering of Sol and Luna, a terrestrial heartbeat fluttered and thrummed, synching with the Music of the Spheres.
This rhythm, melodic and celestial too, was tempered and birthed from the crucible of the Cosmos. And so, a polyphony of vital energies emerged, and Consciousness, a gift, textured the Fabric of the World.
Love: there at first breath and at every ending—and here again, at the dawn of new life.
