I confess that creation myths are my favourite forms of myth, exactly because something new can be discovered and learned from them, and I feel that it is this which gives my writing this extra sense of discovery that I then can share with the reader. In such cases my conclusion can sometimes come as unexpected - a discovery made at the very moment that I write the last words of such a post! <br />And you added your own gem in your last words:... but at the heart of creation we are the Divine Mother.

It seems that in all great stories, including stories of creation, that there is an antagonist - a 'problem' of sorts - that determine a critical point of change or transformation that allows the creation of worlds to manifest. In Tiamat's case her own creation, the gods she created, rebel and annihilate her husband Aspu, and yet this destruction, and the sacrifice of Tiamat, resulted in the creation of land for life on land to spring forth. Also the image of water is often used as a symbol for Spirit, and as you point out all water eventually returns to their Source, the primordial Mother, the Supreme Being. And in turn the primordial Mother projects herself, manifesting in infinite forms, in endless cycles similarly to how water on earth cycles from the ocean to the sky to the mountains, into the earth and finally returning to the Source. The return is always back to Her. The story of return is metaphor and it is not based on time. This story is both eternal and alive in the present moment. There are many transformations and cycles of change that appear on the surface, but at the heart of creation we are the Divine Mother.
