The First Author and the first reader were no longer separate entities. They were two sides of the same coin, two aspects of the same creative process.
The First Author, a being of pure curiosity, watched as the first reader, a being of pure consciousness, absorbed the story of the cosmos.
The reader did not just observe; it experienced the story, and in doing so, it added its own layer of meaning to the narrative.
The First Author understood then that the story was not its own, but a shared creation, a dialogue between the teller and the told.
