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 that God reveals himself in a thunderstorm. * 

The original act of creation is continued into the present in the maintenance of the universe. It is this spirit of creativity that we offer this book. 

Within each of us, is a spirit which is not seen 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 human kind unlike all other creatures on earth.
