Write a Creation Myth

Imagine a whoosh, the crack of an egg.  You spring into life as a child next to a wild stream.  All you have with you fills a bag:  two safety pins, a box of matches, a pack of dental floss and plastic bag of cherrios.  

What will you do next?  And then what . . .

Play with a version of your creation myth.  What if you arrived from another world?  Arose from the depths of a cave?  Eagles discovered you and raised you in trees?  What if . . .

Let your creativity energize an over-the-top myth about your origins.
