Brahmā

the four-faced maker, speaker of worlds

aether

Brahmā speaks the four directions and all that fills them into being; to dream of him is to remember that you too are always shaping a world with your attention, and to ask what you are calling into it.

Fragments

A single day of his lasts a thousand ages of the gods, and when at last he closes his eyes to sleep, the cosmos folds quietly back into the seed from which it grew.

From a golden lotus he unfolded, and turning his four faces to the four horizons, he sang the syllables that became the sky, the water, the earth, and the fire between.
