Greation.

Greation.
There was never a beginning or end to greatness, it was so vast and expansive, it knew nothing of anything else just itself. So alone it felt that sadness engulfed its entire being. Depressed by its hugeness, feeling only a deep void, it decided to fill itself up completely full, hoping it would no longer feel so vacuous. This however did not make it feel happy, just very full and heavy.

Greatness heaved a great sigh and emptied itself of all the fullness and the heavy feeling went away, leaving once again the void inside itself. For an inordinate amount time it was alone and vacant as to what to do with itself, for some reason it felt almost like it did not exist, with no one else to talk to or play with. Then suddenly greatness had a great idea. It was going to create smallness, so it did. There was moment of light that streaked through greatness like thunder and smallness appeared.

Smallness was infinitesimal, compared to greatness’s infinity. Smallness danced and danced around inside of greatness making the most splendid patterns made of all the possible colours and shapes, this tickled greatness and it laughed with joy and felt for the first time not so hollow. Smallness was happy too, it had never known anything before greatness had brought it to being and so was very content to play and chat with greatness.

However greatness once again heaved a great sigh, which shocked smallness to its tiny little core, smallness cried out, “Please greatness why do you sigh so? I feel suddenly so sad. Do you not like me anymore?” greatness replied, “No smallness I love the way you dance and all the amazing colours and shapes you make, you have made me very happy. I just feel somehow that there is still something missing inside of me, like I cannot truly appreciate your splendour and glory. Do you understand?” smallness thought for the tiniest moment, then said “I do understand, I think. I love being inside of you, dancing and playing; you give me so much room to be. But sometimes I feel so pointless, like it’s not awfully important being so small. I love your wondrous magnificence; I just don’t feel like I can truly give justice to your vastness.”

So both smallness and greatness sighed together and pondered their unfortunate situation. Smallness did not like thinking for so long and fetched inside greatness a lot, waiting impatiently for greatness to come up with an answer to their problem.

Then greatness and smallness had an idea, all at the same time, they were going to make things, and lots of them. Smallness eagerly busied itself about, making all sorts of things like plants and elephants and mountains, which would float around greatnesses gulf, smallness was not a well organised sort and really did not think about the order which things should come in. Greatness was much more organised and would put all smallness’s creations in the right place and time. Together they formulated galaxies solar systems, planets and all the possible things that could exist anywhere.

Eventually, there was a whole universe of things, and this made greatness and smallness very happy, but they had not finished in their work, still they had one more thing to create. And due to the complexity of this creation it took a lot of effort and a lot of mistakes.

Greatness and smallness soon sighed with relief, for they had finally finished making humanity, who were so special to greatness and smallness, because they would look at all the splendid things that smallness had created like trees and mountains and fish and seas and marvel at their glory. The humans also liked to look up at the sky and see how vast and wondrous greatness was, enjoying its magnificence, with all the stars and suns and the possibility of other worlds and solar systems, floating around in it.

Greatness was finally truly happy, and so was smallness, as now they could feel truly appreciated as for the humans, well sometimes they were sad but all they had to do was look around them and at themselves and this would make them happy, when they realised how precious and amazing everything really was. (Well sometimes!)
