Swimming Into Stone

Once there was a girl who went to lay on an ancient stone that held a prayer for billions of years. As she lay, she dreamed, and as she dreamed, she sank into the stone. There she found that the stone flowed and she could swim through it. She dived down, deeper and deeper until she reached the void at the centre of the earth, the yawning gap that is the beginning and end of all things. In that darkness she died joyously and was reborn as a spark of all the potential in the cosmos.
