Old Mountains, New Streams - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Not many folk imagine that the challenges our world faces might be addressed using poetry and other creative literary forms. But if we pause to ponder for just a moment, we may notice that how we create meaning is both crucial and problematic, once we abruptly suffer a loss of it. We can lose our bearings completely, should the distance between our inner world of plausibility and the outer one of experience, become severed. There are (and have been) numerous theoretical assessments of our current situation in such matters. Many of these are stimulating. And yet, what we have lost, if it is our compass, may involve the very heart of the way that we approach 'reality'. This reconfiguration of a cross section of biblical themes, as poetry, parable and allegory; allows us to take a fresh approach not to the external conditions we might hope to manipulate, but our inner filters and the alignments within, of our core stories. An aesthetic entry point may be just what the doctor ordered. So pull up a chair, sit down and open your creative imagination to a retelling which mixes together old and new, in order to synthesise the best of both. Engage your heart and intuition, perhaps even more than your mind. Enter into a world where you might hope to become both the potter and the clay.
