It was like watching the sun set over an exausted horizen; seeing her fall softly asleep in my arms. I always felt this connection between her and the universe, like every time I experienced her, I was experiencing the universe. It was something I could never shake. Something I could never fathom into even the most delicate words. ↗

Mike did not seem to grasp the idea of Creation itself. Well, Jubal wasn't sure that he did, either--he had long ago made a pact with himself to postulate a Created Universe on even-numbered days, a tail-swallowing eternal-and-uncreated Universe on odd-numbered days--since each hypothesis, while equally paradoxical, neatly avoided the paradoxes of the other--with, of course, a day off each year for sheer solipsist debauchery. ↗
