And There Was Light

In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light.”
Hold it right there.

What is ‘said’?
What is said?
“What is ‘said’?”

So a god, who is also God, comes and says something:
This is the beginning of the story? That the story begins?
This voice that we cannot hear speaks and creates the world which exists in a story about a world that may not exist?

And what does it say? “Let there be light.”
Light! But light is the one thing that could not possibly have been (in the story) and that already was (before we began the story -- before the story began (and did we begin the story?)).

What was there before this light? The “in-beginning” (b’rashit).

So we have a God that speaks (silently) of a light (without light) that makes it light (though it was already light) in the beginning (which began before we began):
It is really a very simple story:
In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light.”
