FROM OUR JOURNAL PAGES
chuck + peg: Dabar, the Hebrew word for “word.” The Hebrew concept of
‘word’ is far more dynamic than the English conception. Dabar is the word
that is the divine creative energy. All of creation contains the living
wisdom of Dabar with the creative energy flowing through all things, all
time and all space. In Genesis, the story tells us, that God spoke and
then the powerful beings of creation—light and darkness, sun and moon–into
existence. Dabar, which is translated as ‘word,’ implies deeds and
actions, not just words. This creative energy or word of God we believe is
still active today—it is constantly creating and inviting us (all beings)
to participate in this continuous process.
