“untamed, unjailed, unbottled, unarmoured, undisguised…
past, present and future colliding…
until you can be freed by never better…
It is the moment of acknowledgement which wakes”

(Raquel Sanchez, Never Better: -from IAWE, Café Poetry, Arc 16, p. 37-39, Spring 2002)

“It seems like yesterday. I see the port anew. Friends who extend index fingers point, and
large hand-held fans fan, like a rain of terraces.

Below the luzbone.
I foresee, boisterously, the resurrection of flesh.”

(Juan Sanchez Pelaez, The Woman Stranger Moves the Glow of My Mind’s Eye; poem 6 from The Dawn and the Leopard, c. 2023)

In the beginning of Creation, “…the Spirit of G-d Hovered over the face of the waters.” Water appears in different forms. G-d Separated the waters of heaven and the waters of earth and set borders for the water within the rivers, seas and oceans. At the Splitting of the Sea, G-d showed the world that He has absolute control. The painting "The Nature of Water" depicts the intricate nature of water in all forms. Water reflects the light of nature as we know it, which in turn holds together our physical world thereby allowing us to thrive.
