The nostrils parted — from them came breath, and from breath, Wind. The eyes opened — from them came sight, and from sight, the Sun. The ears split — from them came hearing, and from hearing, the Directions. Skin burst forth — from it came hair, and from hair, plants and trees. The heart opened — from it came mind, and from mind, the Moon. The navel split — from it came the downward breath, and from that breath, Death. The organ of generation appeared — from it came semen, and from semen, the Waters.
