The Story of Beginning In the beginning there was nothing. A god came across the nothingness and laid down for they were tired. The body of the god started to be consumed into the nothingness and they could not longer rise up again. The body of this god, known as Lomoti Aran which means 'source of earth', became the land that we live on. A second god came across the body and was horrified to see what had happened. They swore to unmake this emptiness, but Lomoti Aran spoke to them and said: > no-lay-forsake "Do not forsake what is left of me" > no-lay-strong "This emptiness is stronger than either of us"
