A Creation Myth:

| 26 April, 2011 22:39



Many creation myths and stories have been told over time.  The most common/ well known in the Western World, is the story of Adam & Eve.  This story tends to bother me because it blames Eve for everything.  And through time, some who have believed in this story, have literally blamed women for so much and have also propagated the belief that life is pain, because this story made it so. 
 
I would like to offer another story - one that holds no pain, and no blame of women. Once best told by Fiona Horne:
 
“Yhi is my favorite goddess from Australian Aboriginal mythology. She is the goddess of light and creation, a sun deity who lived in the dream time.  When she opened her eyes, light fell on Earth. She then walked the earth, and green things grew where her steps fell.  Soon the whole world was covered with plants, fruits, trees and flowers.  She next decided that, in addition to plants, she wanted to make something that could dance and move.  Insects of all kinds were created. The she explored ice caves in a mountain. She shone her light inside and fish and lizards came out, along with countless kinds of birds, mammals, and amphibians.  But ultimately Yhi returned to her own world, and when she left, darkness came back and covered Earth.  But the next day Yhi opened her eyes again from her home in the sky, and her light returned for all to enjoy.
 
Many millennia later, Yhi saw something strange. It was a man, alone, and she realized he was not anything she had created, and she was intrigued.  While the man slept that night, Yhi focused all here power on a flower so that it became more magnificent than anything any god had ever created. When Man awoke, he, joined by all the other animals of Yhi’s creation, gazed in awe at the beautiful flower.  The flower then blossomed and turned into Woman.  She looked at Man and found him interesting.  Man ran around doing many things to try to impress her and wanted nothing more than to make Woman happy.  She was amused and thrilled - in fact, all creation was laughing and enjoying their coupling, declaring man and woman good for each other.

Leos Mummy:Are you&?的句型我在课堂里是以Are you a boy/girl?来导入的,他们很容易对该句型做出正确的回答如Yes, I am. 或者No, I am not. 这样的话,再拓展到其他的Are you句型也是同样的形式。但是 Is your T-shirt yellow?牵涉到一个形容词性物主代词your, 简单来说,your T-shirt,说的还是T-shirt,it代表一件东西或者事物,所以回答:Yes, it is或No,it isnt.形容词性物主代词有my, your, her, his, its,their,our,比如拿一双自己的鞋子说my shoes, 再拿一双对方的鞋子说your shoes,但一定强调talk的是shoes,然后再找相关的代词来关联。这样的操练在家中还是随手可得的,而且孩子也对这些身边的事物非常熟悉。

Eu sou portista e fui a guimarães ver o jogo e tenho a dizer que assisti à maior vergonha que um adepto de futebol pode ver. Vi um senhor de mão dada com uma criança que não tinha mais de 4 anos ser violentamente agredido por mais de 10 individuos do vitoria só porque tinha um cachecol do porto ao pescoço. Eu proprio fui alvo de uma tentativa de espancamento por parte de varios elementos vitorianos mas consegui fugir.Voces são a vergonha de Portugal!

things were moving too fast and he got scared. Well he was the one who came back with me when I drove 500 miles to see him. My point is if you can figure it out is: Dont move there or tell her you want to or even tell her you love her if you dont mean it! Karma is a bitch and I feel pitty for all the men who do good women wrong guess that is why there are so many hatefull bitches in this world because men mess up the heads of the good women and well they just turn into the run of the mill evil she devils that were already pleagueing the earth. Hey guys keep it up and eventually WE will ALL be cold hearted because of your lies!
