Spontanéité

Night, day, life // Beschreibung

The glowing orb hung from a silken spider's thread in the blanket of night. The sphere's surface was marred with scars, but shone regardless, a mirror of light. The scars never detracted from the light. The luminescent ball hung in a sea of colourful glowing clusters of energy, each one bright, but afar off and not bright enough to outshine the cold, white orb. The light emitted by the glowing stone contrasted with the ebony of night. A halo of white mixed with gold and green and blue before fading into darkness, outlining the pearl in the sky. Sometimes the glow was dimmed, shadowed by wisps of cloud, but it was still there. It was still visible, even through the clouds.

The stone beacon circled a ball of life, seeing it spin and twirl around an even greater light. The greater light was a cluster of gold and amber and scarlet, burning and scorching and unrelenting in the heat it emitted. The sky pearl was merely a reflection, a shadow, a mirror of light. The greater light to rule the day. The lesser light to rule the night. There was no competition between the two. The ball of pulsating gold would always be brighter, hotter, bigger. Neither was there jealousy; the two were entirely different. The glowing white orb was stone. Cold, marred with grey scars. Tugging and pulling on the waters of the ball of life. The ball of heat wasn't solid. Stationary, sprinkled with dots of black, the source of life for the ball of green and blue, earth and water, that the glowing stone so carefully followed across the ebony ocean.

The night-ruler received all its light from the day-ruler. Both were tasked with serving the ball of life. A ball of green and blue, earth and water. Solid terra, hardened and blemished crust differing in thickness at random intervals, stretching to touch the surrounding sky, molten heart, gold and amber and swirling lava. Scattered on the surface and in the depths of this earthen sphere was life. All shapes, all sizes, all colours and textures, every individual maintaining a fragile balance, each one with its own purpose. But altogether, every purpose intertwined to form one: glorify Him. The Creator.

The ball of life, dependent on the ball of night, dependent on the ball of day. The three orbs, one white, one golden, one a swirl of blue and green, upholding a gentle harmony, a symphony of balance. Night, day, life. Each orb, gently and perfectly formed, out of an endless void of nothingness- an abyss- and summoned into being with a breath, a word. Earth, ball of life, a gathering of water and terra, curled into a ball and hung in the darkness and filled with life. Sun and moon, ball of day and ball of night, drawn from nothing with a command. Placed in the firmament to rule, day and night. Spinning and circling, or stationary, created for a purpose. For life.

The day is Thine, the night also is Thine:
Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:
Thou hast made summer and winter.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, Thou art very great;
Thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:
Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters:
Who maketh the clouds His chariot:
Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Who maketh His angels spirits;
His ministers a flaming fire:
Who laid the foundations of the earth,
that it should not be removed for ever.
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:
the waters stood above the mountains.
At Thy rebuke they fled;
at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away.
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys
unto the place which Thou hast founded for them.
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
that they turn not again to cover the earth.
He appointed the moon for seasons:
the sun knoweth his going down.

I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

He hath made the earth by his power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion. He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by His understanding.
