I am the rain coming from the dew that caused the grasses to laugh with the joy of life. I am the yearning for good. She is mother of all, for contained in her are the seeds of all. The earth of humankind contains all moistness, all verdancy, all germinating power. It is in so many ways fruitful.
All creation comes from it.
