Here are the stories I was told as a child
Of how the world came to be
Let your thoughts and imagination run wild
Let these stories pass through you
As they did generations before me
How faith can fill the ocean
Who's the lady in the moon
Why magpies built the milky way
How the dead receives our devotion
And why the dragon died too soon
And the reason we have night and day
And as you listen you may wonder
Where do you fit in?
A question to break free from the wheel
As life keeps on going how do we heal
So I'll ask it again
As I begin
In the beginning there was a God named Pan Gu
He hatched from an egg of chaos
He was so large and so strong
That as he stood
The earth began to break from the sky
In the beginning there was a God named Pan Gu
He longed to bring order to the chaos
He was so sure and so proud
He had no doubt
But as he stood he started to die
His left eye became the Sun
His right eye became the Moon
His hair sprouted plants and trees
Out his blood flowed rivers and seas
His voice became thunder
His sweat became rain
As he was dying
He felt no pain
His bones became minerals
His body the soil
And with his last breath
He gave all things life
If this is the world that he made
And he shaped it in his image
Isn't it magnificent?
But why don't I feel as magnificent?
Perhaps this is all I am meant to unpack in therapy
In the beginning from Pan Gu's ashes
A ravishing goddess Nü Wa was birthed
She reached into the soil
And from its yellow clay
The first people unearthed
Even though they were strangers
She shielded them from the dangers
Of wildfires raging
