MY TAPESTRIES: 35 SERIES > The Mystical (I-?)
THE MYSTICAL (I)
– Light, as It Shines upon Us
How strange that in the world’s religions, there are so many names for the Divine, and that the Jews spell God with a four-letter combination that we no longer know how to pronounce. Even if we did know, we would not be permitted to do so.

THE MYSTICAL TRADITION (II)
– Light, As It Flickers Within a Hymn

THE MYSTICAL TRADITION (III)
– Light, as It Twinkles in a Chasidic Tale
I like the Chasidic tradition of seeking God through music, dance, and song. In the least pretentious of places and moments, I often feel I can say, ”God is in this place, and I know it.”

THE MYSTICAL TRADITION (V)
– Light, as It Plays inside Dew, Mist, and Rain
I have woven water as in gentle rain and dew and mist upon the earth. Water, no one is ‘against’ water. But rain? Heaven forbid it should rain one day. We all need it for survival, but few want it. Dew makes bare feet in the grass wet in the morning, and mist is a veil hindering us from seeing clearly. To me, it is about the awe-inspiring, mysterious interplay between water and light.
