Its vivid imagery, symbolic language, and references to judgment and restoration can feel overwhelming, especially when read in 17th-century wording.

Often, creative people are not encouraged to pursue their heart’s desires by the world at large. They end up frustrated, depressed, or sad because they feel they cannot share their gifts with the world. They get blocked, give up too soon, or worse yet, fail to ever start what they yearn to make. And that’s a downright shame.
