The season of Genesis is the first [Liturgical Season](/Liturgical_Season) in the SolSeed Movement's Liturgical Calendar. It symbolises the deep past from the Big Bang to the invention of photosynthesis. During this season the [Weekly Service Calls](/Weekly_Service_Calls) use the following Opening ceremony:
*We gather to mark the passing of a week*
*To align our hearts as one.*
*Nothing ... Still ... Nothing*
*And then ... <gasp> Something!!!!*
*Time, Space, Matter, Energy, Gravity.*
*Galaxies coalesce ... in the celestial nursery, stars are born. And for every star, there is a story.*
*Our story began with Sol, the sun, the fire that sparks life into being.*
(Light the candles)
*Next came the Earth, our first home, both the shaper of life and the clay from which life makes itself.*
("Plant" a seed in the soil)
*Then came the water, the sea where the first life swam, the sea that swims inside each of us.*
(Drink some of the water and use the rest to "water" the seed)
*Finally life made the air, turning sunlight into fuel, freely available to all breathing creatures.*
(Take three deep breaths)
*Fire, Earth, Water, Air.*
*From Nothing ... Something*
