Sunlit Streams of Water: Devotions for Religious
Naturalists by Erwin K Thomas, available at Amazon.com celebrates naturalism’s
impact on human beings.
This devotional captures the symbolism of sunlight,
streams, and water. Its themes represent
life, energy, power, and rebirth.
1. Sunlight
appears as the completion of the Creator’s great works.
2. Streams
declare the passage of time,
3. Water
is the new birth flowing into the vast oceans.
Much of this symbolism leads to understanding minds
and receptive hearts.
Water itself represents, not only birth, but refreshment,
and fertility. It symbolizes life
itself, purification, healing, the alleviation of suffering, and
redemption. In Christianity, it is used for
baptism, and the Holy Spirit is often depicted as celestial fire.
To a Religious Naturalist, Nature in its
manifestations – sky, moon, stars, oceans, rivers, lakes, mountains, hills,
valleys, creatures of all kinds, trees, flora, and fauna are all Holy.
Knowledge of science and the arts are essential prerequisites
for appreciating and understanding Nature.
