“An Angel told me that all of creation, further than the eye can see, can be thought of as a great tree. Its branches, twigs, and leaves have lives and directions of their own. They grow—winding, weaving, deviating, breaking, dying—as fate allows. Still, no matter their lives and directions, they all share the same trunk & the same roots, the same singular point of origin. Like the roots under the soil of the ground, we may not see them, but we know they’re there. Without roots, the tree would fall over in the wind or it would die from lack of nutrients.
The Angel said that there once existed a single universe at the root, a grandfather universe, which most sentient beings might call “Heaven.” It was a glorious place that burned with otherworldly flames that radiated from the angelic host and the God of gods so that it was never dark and never night.
A great disaster came upon Heaven: the very first rebellion, the very first war.”

“All these dualities suggest that string theorists have been looking at the same animal, only some have discovered the tail, while others have found the ears or glimpsed a snout. The problem is, they still don't know what kind of animal they're dealing with.”
