Senisic Creation Story
As with any story, the creation story for the religion of Senisi has its variations. I'll spare you all the versions I've come across over the years- I doubt I could explain them all if I tried- so I'll tell it to you the way that I explain it to my students.
For some brief background before we start, I was raised in a Senisi literalist household and went to my early grades in a school that practiced those same beliefs. I myself, however, practice modernized Senisic, so naturally, that will affect my telling. And, for those of you who don't know, Thaimos is the God of modestly and restraint, and Caiaha is the Goddess of indulgence, beauty, and sensuality. With that said, here is my telling of the Senisic creation story.
Before time began, and the universe was absent from existence, only the divine parents were present. These parents were called Thaimos and Caiaha. Thaimos was content in the pure and the quiet, but Caiaha craved something more stimulating. She was insatiable, and couldn’t handle the monotony. So, Caiaha made a decision, that she would create something. She propositioned Thaimos to help her, but he refused to take part in creation, no matter how she pleaded. Bitter from the rejection, she waited until Thaimos slept before falling upon him, and Heietn was conceived in her audacious act. Caiaha, patient for the only time, waited until the pregnancy was ready, and then she birthed the infant planet we now call home. She was fascinated by it and spent uncountable millennia molding it into something decadent enough for her tastes. She sculpted mountains, cut off her hair to make into grass and trees, and filled the oceans by spilling her blood onto the land. When waves beat against the shore, fish leapt from the spray. Animals formed from boulders or crawled out of the soil. These creatures were her children, and she was overcome as she watched them execute the cycle of life, consuming and creating, killing and reproducing. She cried from the happiness, and her tears fell into the sky, forming the stars. Thaimos continued to oversee, remaining in the void outside of Caiaha’s world, while she stayed and marveled over her precious Heietn. Every beautiful thing and place on the planet, from the most delicate flowers to looming mountains and oceans, was shaped by her hand, and to this day, she maintains Heietn so all her children who inhabit it can indulge just as she does.
And there it is! It is one of the 'cleaner' stories of the Senisic folklore, especially for one involving Caiaha. If anybody is interested in hearing more about the religion or the stories surrounding it, I'd love to talk about it more.

CHANSON et POÉSIE : CARLOS DRUMMOND DE ANDRADE mis en musique par MILTON NASCIMENTO (magnifique !) Milton Nascimento - Canção Amiga (Carlos Drummond de Andrade - Milton Nascimento). Voz: Kiko e Milton violões: Milton Nascimento flauta: Mauro Senise cellos: Henrique Drach arranjo e regência: Milton Nascimento http://www.museuclubedaesquina.org.br/musica/cancao-amiga/ Álbum: Clube da Esquina 2 Ano: 1978 Belos Poemas que Viraram Músicas : ...A comovente melodia criada pelo autor de “Coração de Estudante” valoriza ainda mais o belo texto de Drummond. Sua melodia se alinha totalmente com os versos do poeta, para alguns se desenvolve como uma espécie de canção de ninar e, paradoxalmente, para outros, como um lamento, uma necessidade imperativa de “acordar os homens. Todos estão certos, Drummond, na poesia, atua como uma fada: ninando crianças e despertando adultos para a necessidade de uma reflexão... http://www.drzem.com.br/2009/11/cancao-amiga-carlos-drummond-de-andrade.html Canção Amiga Eu preparo uma canção em que minha mãe se reconheça, todas as mães se reconheçam, e que fale como dois olhos. Caminho por uma rua que passa em muitos países. Se não me vêem, eu vejo e saúdo velhos amigos. Eu distribuo um segredo como quem ama ou sorri. No jeito mais natural dois carinhos se procuram. Minha vida, nossas vidas formam um só diamante. Aprendi novas palavras e tornei outras mais belas. Eu preparo uma canção que faça acordar os homens e adormecer as crianças. EN PUBLIC : Canção amiga Milton Nascimento e Carlos Drummond violão Gilvan de Oliveira : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14hfA6LYO80 L'œuvre de Carlos Drummond de Andrade, particulièrement son œuvre poétique, est l'une des plus importantes de la littérature brésilienne moderne, qui est marquée par un renouveau issu d'un désir conscient d'atteindre à une expression authentiquement nationale. Délaissant la poésie qui puisait son inspiration dans le pittoresque et le folklore, Carlos Drummond de Andrade s'engage résolument dans une voie révolutionnaire, tant par le fond que par la forme. Ainsi s'expliquent les appréciations divergentes, et quelquefois passionnées, que suscite son œuvre dense et une, qui surgit d'une recherche pénétrante et solitaire de la vie quotidienne en ce qu'elle a de plus immédiat et d'apparemment insignifiant. Conçu comme un « paysage moral », scruté par une intelligence aiguë au service d'une sensibilité frémissante et contenue, le quotidien révèle sa trame secrète et profonde... http://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/carlos-drummond-de-andrade/
