Abstract

I emerged from nothingness, when neither form nor substance yet existed, when the void drifted aimlessly in the immensity of nothingness. An origin tracing back to the dawn of time, when chaos reigned and order had not yetfound its place. In that vast universe, composed of tiny particles, I was just one more, in constant flux. My existence became bound to the orbit of a star, whose flashes have provided me with light and heat without interruption. Tied to an invisible web, known to the wise as the quantum web, I spin ceaselessly, marking with my movement the cycle of day and night. In my essence, three-quarters iswater, and the rest, the solid earth that gives my being its name and shelter to innumerable tiny and giant beings. I have always been a shared home, an inexhaustible spring of life. Plants grew on my soil that provided food for human beings, while seeds, scattered by the wind and carried by insects, gave rise to a world of diversity. Majestic trees fed the animals, meadows covered my plains, and wildflowers adorned my cliffs. My juicy fruits, my aromatic herbs, and my golden grains were sustenance for human beings. Today I tremble with the fury of volcanoes and weep with the force of storms and hurricanes. My mountains shake, my soils crack, and pain spreads to every corner of my being.
