'If we do relinquish control, we suddenly see a hidden world, one that has existed all along right in front of us. In a flash, the uncanny presence of this poetic and vibrant world, ripe with mistery, stands before us. Everything is expressing itself as what it is. Everything is alive and talking to us'.
Nathaniel Dorsky, 'Devotional Cinema'.
'Maybe the things I perceive, the animals, plants, men, hills, shining and flowing waters, the skies of day and night, colors, densities, forms, maybe these are (as doubtless they are) only apparitions, and the real something has yet to be known'.
Walt Whitman, 'Leaves of Grass' (1891)
'Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.'
Hebrews 11:3
'God rested on the seventh day in order to look at the rushes'.
J. G. Ballard, 'The Day of Creation'
