3.1
(“Nature loves to hide.”[1] — Gods are everywhere. —)
IN THE BEGINNING, was a continuation.
Deities and spirits — they all hid. All things were blanketed and, as though magnetically, were pointed to the centre.
Gods have tried to push through at the peripheries; at the margins, they’ve been caught sight of in the corner of an eye.
They aren’t the same gods throughout time — undoubtedly, they’ve changed: they’re supplanted, cast out, forgotten.
Gods don’t die, for they remain immortal, even though they may fade.
Now, some of us are starting to be able to notice at the edges a new arrangement of gods.
