The passage
In the beginning there was only a dark chaos, and within the chaos a fire without form.
Fire inside a cloud before creation. The universe as fire looking for a shape. Everything that exists is the fire trying to find a form that fits. Connects to Boehme’s Signatura Rerum — every created thing bears the signature of the fire that made it. The shape IS the signature.
