Ex Nihilo

Out of nothing. No form, no stuff, no precedent. Thus 'Creator', that One who transcended Art by making something from nothing. Today, we are artistic, rearranging Nature to produce something that is 'new' . When Michelangelo created his 'David', did he wonder whether it was the best of all Davids? I don't think so, and even if he did, from his perspective, he wouldn't have known if it was the best of all Davids. I realize now I've used 'creative' where something original is supposed to have been produced, but really, I should have used 'artistic', or 'produced' where something, not necessarily original has been 'brought forth'. The vast expanse of the heavens, the fixed and wandering stars, the moon, the sun, the earth, the orbs, all of this being original. The best of all worlds. Where even the greatest suffering must produce progress and betterment.
