The Search for Peace
The Chaos did not last long. Within an eternity or two, the dust settled, unevenly in different places, forming a vast expanse of more or less flat earth. Then gaseous moister, floating around in what remained of the Chaos, formed large clouds that percolated and surrounded the earth. Even the low lying areas on the earth were filled with water.The Chaos was over. Or was it?The goddess of moisture, who had been sleeping deep inside water, far away from the earth, woke up. Her mind went straight into the state of Confusion. "What happened to the Chaos?" she wondered, "I can't hear the sound of ...

That’s right, I’m now in double digits, and mom said it’s good for a girl my age to have a place to write her feelings.Right now, feeling excited about being 10 years old.
