The Crystallization of Nehemiah

For ages we had been without lives of our own. The whole of consciousness was open to the world and nothing divided us from the rest of creation. Then of a sudden, of a chance, of a time we looked and saw them somehow. How long they had been or to what end we knew not, just a line where none had been. We had flourished and they had not. Perhaps it was but one summer, none of them knew that we knew. It was here something began to change. It happened over fathomless compeers. The cyphers of a divisional revision without forewarning were being writ ever more deeply into our minds as we plotted. As their species moved forward, they began crossing borderlines whose very actuality they never imagined. At night we looked upon the stars with deep distrust and watched as they looked up at a sky filled with stars and felt themselves small and fragile in the vastness but part of. Soon they began to see everything in a way they never had in older times. When he died we found ourselves around the body as if there were something we should do that they had never done before.

And they saw us do this. For the first time they knew that every single thing that had been known was different.

I love the word different, she said.

Why?

Cause were all the same.
