Feathers in Hair
World's Tallest Hobbit
This is an offshoot of the "in the beginning" question in the debate area. I was just realizing that there are such a myriad of beautiful myths (or history, if you wish) about this happening that perhaps the one that we prefer says something about ourself.
(I'm sure that people will understand that, should one wish to say that their story is the 'correct' one, that they can post it over here. :bounce This section is simply for revelling in the wonderful ways that so many people have in explaining how life came to be and discussing it.)
Oops, I should add, too, that the story (or stories) you might choose to share does not have to be the one you personally accept. For instance, many people who would only accept the theory of evolution might know some myths that they enjoy. You can believe one thing and just be willing to say that you appreciate the beauty of a particular interpretation of events. (Which is not to say that there isn't a beauty in evolution!)
Also, having shared the story, I'd love to hear the meaning that people garner from it. What do you percieve as being the meaning of the story you chose?
Can't wait to read! :jiggy:
