WorLDSmiths

And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten.

--Pearl of Great Price, Moses 1:33

One of the most wondrous powers of God is the power of creation: so much so that one of the names of God is Creator. And one of the most wondrous generosities of God is his willingness to share this power with us, his immature children. The greatest manifestation of this is our ability, in concert with God, to create life itself through procreation. But our incredible brains (also a wondrous gift of God) have the power of creation in many ways to an infinite degree. To verify this, one only needs to gaze at all the creations of man that have occurred throughout the millenia, from the pyramids of Egypt to the amazing technologies of today.

But perhaps the circumstances under which our creative abilities most mimic that of God are when storytellers create new worlds, even universes, for our entertainment and edification. The power of the storyteller to evoke and control the destinies of his own private cosmos of the imagination is rivaled only by God. Of course, any of our creations pale in comparison to those of the Divine Creator. But after all, we are still only apprentices.

Not every creation of every artist will appeal to every person. But there is some creation by some artist that will fit you perfectly.

Somewhere there's a world just for you.
