Before the beginning there were no words.
Holy letters flowed from Shechinah’s mouth infused with her presence. 
All the letters but one sang and danced
with timbrel & lyre they sanctified the name of Yah.

Aleph was silent. 
Aleph was silent because she was listening to the music of the letters.

In the beginning, Adonai became angry. 
The songs of the letters disturbed him with their wildness 
their refusal to be contained their joy when dancing in the chaos.
He heard their laughter as a desecration of the name of Yah.

Adonai breathed the letters into his being but Aleph had remained silent in the shadows Adonai had overlooked her presence. 

When Adonai had infused the letters with his transcendence he opened his mouth and the letters flowed out into the wildness.

Adonai commanded them to know each other to be fruitful and multiply to form words that would create order in the chaos.

When the chaos had been tamed, the wildness contained 
the music assigned the proper times and places to be released 
Adonai saw that it was good and he stopped creating.

Yah could no longer hear the music because the words had silenced the letters when they imprisoned the wildness. Yah wept in the silence and placed Aleph where she would be safe.

Aleph waits for the day when chaos and order will truly know each other when they will be fruitful and multiply when silence and speaking will be one in sanctifying the name of Yah.
