Synopsis
In the beginning there was water. In the land of the beginnings spirits mingled with the souls. We played much because we were free. And when it was time for us to go, wondrous spirits danced around us to the music of gods protecting our souls across the interspaces and preparing us for existence. Each one of us made the passage alone. Alone, we had to survive the crossing.
The exile had begun…
Ben Okri "The famished road"
