Once upon a time there was an egg floating on the ocean. A sword began to come towards the egg, and it cut the egg in two. Eros was in the egg.
Without the division of the sword love is impossible.
Once matter appeared, the great divider (sword) appeared and applied itself to matter. The cutter divided matter into heavy stuff and light stuff. It divided light stuff further into fire and air.
It cut again and heavy stuff became water and earth. It divided earth into mainland and island, it divided water into salt water and fresh water.
The sword kept cutting and cutting. The endless dividing resulted in the spectacularly articulated, beautifuly fractal, exuberant flourishing of material and metaphysical variation.
And the cutting never stops. There is a continuous process of distinction, disambiguation, and defining/re-defining of identity.
