This is much more than a short story, it is a work of mythology. A creation myth; how a sleepless painter created the world and married the moon before finally falling into a slumber serenaded by the world’s first bird. The seeds of a novel. Magical stuff. Brilliantly done.
This comment really really moved me Indra! I have been thinking a lot about creation myths and world-building these days. I wasn't sure if could get close to something as expansive as a modern myth, but I really wanted to try. I'm so glad that it came through and that you were able to experience it in the way you did :)
Anagha, this is truly sublime. You have brought us into your process, your presence, your dream. Beautifully, mysteriously. Fantastic, fabulous. Thank you for sharing……!
