Before the world existed there was Nothing.

And, inside Nothing existed Everything.

So tightly woven together were Everything and Nothing that they did not move,
and all existence remained that way until Something happened.

Something was the first thing to ever happen,
and when it did, Nothing and Everything changed.

When Something happened there was a spark
& from this spark came the first light to ever appear.

When the first light appeared, Nothing and Everything saw each other for the first time.
They realized that they where now separate from each other.
This realization allowed them to become aware of their own individualities.

Nothing moved, but because there was no place yet to go, Nothing became No Where.
No Where could not find a place to be, so it turned into Now Here.
Now Here marked the center of time,
and from that center the past ran backwards and the future ran forward.

While Nothing changed, Everything began to grow.
For the first time Everything realized it was not Nothing.
Everything would look around at its newly discoverd self,
and every time it did, it realized something new.
With every realization, Everything expanded.
This continued on and on, and as it did, new forms took shape.

Everything was creating Everything.

One realization came when Everything looked around and thought,
"I no longer see Nothing."
This realization stirred a new feeling in Everything.
Everything wanted Nothing, or at least to know where Nothing was.

" I saw Something, then no more Nothing? I will ask Something to help me find Nothing."

Everything called for Something, and Something appeared.

"Hello Something," said Everything. "Can you tell me where Nothing went?"

Something answered: "Nothing went No Where, and No Where is Now Here."

Everything then asked: "If Nothing was No Where, and No Where is Now Here,
where is Now Here?"

Perplexed, Something replied,
"How can you not know where Now Here is if you made everything?"

"But I did not make Nothing, and now Nothing is now gone."

"Well......" said Something, "…I am not sure where Now Here is."

Disheartened, Everything went on to say,
"I miss Nothing and wish for us to be close again. I will search for Now Here
to find out if Nothing still remains.
Thank you for the information you have given me.
Also, I offer you my gratitude for happening.
I realize that Everything would not have been possible had it not been for Something,
so thank you."

Something was quiet for awhile, then said,
" Well thank you for your thank you, but I do not know how I happened to happen.
Perhaps you could tell me since you were there.
I do not know because I was was still inside Nothing.”

“I can only tell you that Nothing can tell you, but you say that Nothing is Now Here?"

"Hmmm, well it seems that we would both like to find Now Here. If you would like,
I can help you, and we can search together."

"This is a good plan, I like it."

Off they went, Something and Everything: together, searching for Now Here.
