The New Earth.

Genesis 1: “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 God said let there be light: and there was light...”

On the first night in Morocco was Dakhla where 500 kilometers weighed my eyelids down. The night was the sixth day and God held my hand and I flew with him.

I watched as God made earth.

Clouds of dust became mountains, and smoke balls became hills and flatlands. He made the sky a blue solution to my eye’s sore and his breath became the clouds. He made the clouds close to the earth and the clouds and the sand played together.

God held my hand and we glided over the hills and sat under a dome of sky. And then God sneezed and made the waters of the earth and everything was good.

Then God made fauna and flora and then he made man and covered him with caramel.

After God made man, man made technology and the waters and the deserts fought for prominence. Then man plundered the earth with his modern toys and said he would live in the sea instead.

So man parted the seas and moved the waters to where the land once was. Then God’s great creatures covered themselves in blankets of sand and became the Atlas Mountains. Then the mountains lived under the new sea and man plundered the new earth, which was the sea and decided to part the new waters again.

And God was displeased with man. So that when man wanted to part the waters again God sent a great flood to overcome the earth and man and animals.

After ten days, the floods dried up and the great creatures rose from their sleep. They shoke off the sands on their skins and emerged from under the mountains and became the new man. The great creatures listened to God and kept the sea where the sea should be and the lands and deserts where they should be.

The great creatures were the new man and new fauna and flora emerged from the earth.

The great creatures who was the new man was filled with fear and bowed down to the earth in worship when he spoke to God.

God said this is the earth as I have created it and the evening and the morning were the seventh day.
