The cycle begins with a dialogue between the sad wizard, a teary-eyed Easter Island head, and wisdom, the purple scale representing science. Wizard: Why is the world in spite of all my stories not living happily ever after? Wisdom: Do not despair. The secrets to happiness are in all stories, but instead of believing the stories like the fanatics do, think like a scientist and examine what is universal in all stories, their plot; there you will see the wisdom of the secrets of living happily ever after.

Bill Harby arranged three groups of marble rocks and a single head stone, all with mirrors on one aspect of the massive stones. I interpret them as illustrating the three acts structure of the Conflict Resolution Process culminating to the single stone as the resolution. The mirrors symbolize the self-reflexiveness of the creative process. I call this sculpture Genesis, and its Greek equivalent, the Teleion Holon Greek for the Perfect Universe.
