A new lens on creation, through relationship rather than separation.

This painting is part of a series of visual midrash (sacred commentary) on the first Book of the Bible, Bereshit | Genesis.

“those who dance as they hold as they dance through all life; those who reach up from a wheelchair; out from a walker; or wobbling, out from a cane.”

“Before us—everything; / After us—everything.”

Staring up at the glowing orb and feeling the life in her womb, she drifted into dreams, only to be startled awake by the Voice…

“You who ride and rise with joyous shouts / from the River of Already…”

“Here we greet / The firmament / Of Heaven…”

“We sing Your praises / In shimmering letters…”

“Blessed is the Darkness in the Light, / Blessed is the Light in the Darkness…”

This short poem is inspired by the process of creation as told in Bereshit.
