God created the Universe in His own image and likeness.

And God looked upon His Creation and could not understand it.

He seemed to see good and evil, light and darkness, cold and heat.

He longed for a Universe in which there would be only good, light and warmth.

In conflict with Himself, He crashed against His own invention.

In it He felt great injustice, pain, anger and suffering.

"Open your heart, O my God, and accept yourself as you are," the serpent said to Him.

God, His image and likeness reflected in His Universe, looked within Himself.

And God saw that it was good.

And God, at peace with Himself, smiled.
