Confucius says "Great indeed is the generating power of the Creative; all beings owe their beginning to it."1
The Dragon is Time and it eats all things. Creation is Time and it makes all things.
Before the moment I knew the Dragon, all things flowed together and there was no beginning. I knew nothing of beginnings and ends and my world was a simple world of friends next door and all people loved one another as all my World was Love.
But as the World expands I see more Dragons. (more monsters) And they devour my time, from the beginning-- They will soon catch my end, and my creation shall be nothing, That I did not myself create.
