You can`t remember exactly how you stumbled onto this place, your memories are a blur, like a distant dream. They hang on edge of your consciousness, out of your grasp. All you know now is what lays before you, a very ruffled up bird with moon spectacles running around the cluttered room. There are books and knick-knacks in total disorder from floor to ceiling. "Where is that book? My calculations must be correct..." The bird throws a book on the floor, dust flies into the air. It makes you cough. "Oh! You`re finally here. I`ve been waiting for you. Well, hurry up! You`re late." She stares at you expectantly. You have no idea what she`s talking about. You can't help but stare at her feathers for a moment, they're a dark blue color, with small dots that seem to twinkle slightly. "Oh come on don`t be shy." She walks over to you and uses her wings to push you towards a large, silver telescope installed in the middle of the room. You look at her, unsure. "Hurry or you`ll miss it!" You look at her doubtfully, but close one eye and obey.

When your eye refocuses, you see a small blue star. It`s a little blurry at first, but you notice that there`s a black spot that grows larger and larger. Once the star disappears into darkness, a yellow light suddenly blinds you in a large explosion. You close your eyes and pull away from the telescope. The bird is close to your face with big open eyes, "Did you see that?!" You distance yourself a little from her. "The death of a star. The beginning of new life!!" She raises her wings into the air. You back away from her, a little startled. She turns back to you. "Now, we have a lot of work to do. Action-reaction!"

You don`t dare contradict the kooky bird, so you both climb through the clutter through a very small, golden doorway. She sizes you up and nods. "Go on through." You hesitate, but step through, finding yourself what you can only perceive as being a dark room. "Now…" you jump a little, you thought you'd hear her footsteps in the darkness. "Start imagining." "What?" You`re confused and still wonder what you could possibly be thinking, standing in darkness with this obviously deranged bird. "Whatever you want! Suns, moons, stars, planets, skies!" she replies, with excitement in her voice. Once she says this a small, glowing white dot floats directly in front of you. You reach out and touch it. It makes a small twinkling noise, then a shock wave ripples through your body and then on into the emptiness. Countless numbers of these sparkling, beautiful dots appear all around you, they seem to emanate from your very being. You gasp and allow your mind to wander onto beautiful colors and shapes. Before you know it you`re completely lost in it. You no can no longer tell where you end and this universe begins. The bird and your doubts are like a lost memory, but you pay no mind, this is your new existence.

You forget who you were and who you are...what's a who and who's a what. You're nothing but creation and imagination, ebbing and flowing into the planets, stars and beings you create.
