Inspiring Soundtrack: Audiomachine – Remember the Titans – Tree of Life

________________________________

Zoe breathed in the air, rare, like at the top of a mountain. Adam’s face came into sharper focus, much as everything around her, as if each flower petal, pillar, bench, blade of grass had lit up from within. Wondering how the dragon would look in this shimmering light, she turned to find it. But it was gone, and in its place stood the wizened woman, dressed in a plain green robe, the misty clothes of before dissolved in air.

Before her eyes, the woman’s skin lost its wrinkles, her white hair turned a rich red, and she smiled.

“Mother?”

“It is indeed I,” Sophia touched Zoe’s elbow, “You’ve done well, my daughter.”

“So the snake, the dragon?”

“We change form based on who we feel we are. Remember the tree, the eagle?”

“But why, mother?”

“To make up for all I had done. For the Blind one, the Imperfect, who could create, and was thus the Creator. But who had not compassion, nor love. He created Adam and Eve, but did not teach them of the Spirit.”

Sophia’s eyes turned to the ground, and Zoe followed them. Adam had sunk beside her on the grass, a strange stillness about him.

    • The Christians amongst us will see traces of Gnosis. Thanks for the lovely comments, everyone. I rushed it out in less than two hours, and hadn’t read the story before this, so I’m quite relieved at the reaction :).
