It has been said that the ancient Hebrews were deficient in an appreciation of Nature. Yet a single Psalm, the 104th, may be said to present a picture of the entire Cosmos... Within the confines of a poem of such small dimensions, the universe, the heavens and the earth are to be found. But behind the material universe, with its marvels and beauties, the Hebrew poet discerned the creative might of God.
The imagery in “The Clouds Thy Chariot” (verse 3) is derived from an ancient concept, God’s revelation of himself in a thunderstorm.*
The original act of creation continues in the present in the maintenance of the universe, and it is in this spirit of creativity that we offer this book. Within each of us is a spirit unseen by others. It lies silent in most of us all our lives.
For some it emerges as the expression of the inner self…in painting or dance or music or architecture or photography. That spirit, that unseen part of us, is what makes humankind unlike all other creatures on earth.
