As the story
goes, humanity was once not so polarized as it now stands. It was,
instead, triadic - made of three genders.
The children of the sun were not unlike two men pressed together,
back to back, unable to ever completely look one another in the
eye. The Solists were discerning and wise. They would travel end
over end arms akimbo as the rolled to their destination.
The children of the earth seemed like two women joined at the back,
facing opposite directions. They walked like crabs and waved to
everyone as they passed. These Gaian Beauties were warm and caring
and known to give the best of hugs.
The children of the moon were exactly like a man and woman, a sun
and earth, desperatly holding onto one another through the muscle
and flesh of their backs. As one would try to move one direction
the other, not wanting to be left behind, would move to follow accordingly.
As such the Lunatics would walk in small circles that would eventually
geting them somewhere close to there intedend location.
Yet the day came, like all days tend to do, when these children
saught to venture out on their own. Their wonderlust led them to
seek something they only knew as "the self." Compounded
by their petty bickering between their two halves, they decided
to seperate themselves from themselves and move out into the void.
They pulled and pulled with all their might - some went northward
while they others went southward. Some rebelled goinging eastward
and others, not to be outdone, went westward. Before they left they
all promised to one day return back to themselves and rejoin their
old ways if they did not find this the self. As they traveled, however,they
began to lose their way and eventually forgot of their promise.
The children could no longer tell the differences from each other
and got even more confused then before. How would they find the
"the self" if all they couldn't even remember whoelse
was a part of them before. Eventually all they knew to do was go
on the new look of the childred and make "Men" and "Women." |
