The creation myth/account

The repitition: “the Resplendent Plumed Serpent” “Modeler, Maker…”

“The original book” as the oral tradition

Think about it as a cord in a fabric knitted or stitched together. An active imaginative process with voice and text. “inscribe”, “reader”, performed as well. But not as a stage drama (that too) but in an experiential way.

THIS IS THE ACCOUNT: it exists even when unnoticed, “ripples” “murmers” like whispers in the wind until stillness

Commentary: “existed as a picture writing” – Homer “poems were intended to be read aloud, often with musical accompaniment.”

How to read/experience (13) from “There is the Original Book / and ancient writing…” and become a participant as well

The colorful feathered serpent and the Heart of Sky must work together to come out of darkness
