Moonless night so dark and deep the stars were concealed. A flash of lightning ripped and penetrated. Rolling thunder moaned in pain then pleasure. He slid out of the channel created by the lightning to unfathomable depths below. As he descended tissue formed and bone gave it shape. He grew eyes and opened them just as he landed in the sea. Waves carried him to shore and presented him on a white sand beach. He lay for a while on the beach, his back relaxed on the white sand feeling gentle ocean waves caressing his body.
The present moment was all there was. The past whispered no secrets to him about where he had been before he arrived here. No future beckoned him to plan or fret. He stood and walked a short distance into a jungle, uninhibited and unaware of self or time.
