B'reshith - In the Beginning
B'reshith is the Hebrew word for Genesis, meaning "in the beginning". I was inspired by Genesis 1-3 at the beginning of 2020. While slowly recovering from a Coronavirus, I drafted this collection of poems.
In 1902, artist George Watts spoke of his painting "Sower of the Systems": “My attempts at giving utterance and form to my ideas are like the child's design, who, "being asked. . . to draw God, made a great number of circular scribbles, and. . .struck his pencil through the center, making a great void. This is utterly absurd as a picture, but there is a greater idea in it than in Michelangelo’s old man with a white beard.” This is how I attempt to express insights I discover - things about God while studying His Word, reflecting on who He is, and worshipping Him. I submit to you my messy scribbles, star-struck words, and glued-in pictures about an ineffable powerful, knowing, and loving Creator.
