It is said that the Great God was carried in the womb of the Sun and nurtured by the stars. Surrounded in black and white, he longed for brilliance and variety. And so he painted the world among the stars in great swaths of color--the blues and greys of water, the greens of the forest, the reds of the desert, and the browns of the bare earth. And he painted all the creatures upon it of all shapes and colors, so that he may watch them.
