The egg was an important symbol in early mythologies. It was believed that the Universe evolved from a great egg, each half corresponding to heaven and earth. I fancy that – reflecting the greater Universe from which we evolve – we each have a store of creativity and productivity, our personal “cosmic eggs.”

CRACKING COSMIC EGGS
by
Jamie Dedes
careless spill of our treasured store,
our divine inheritance of cosmic eggs,
cracking them, betraying our truth,
or feeding them to the great poverty
of media trickery, more refuse than
mortal mind or heart can ever hope
to process in such rot ripe days of
political theatre and celebrity gossip
