"Creation of the New" is a post-apocalyptic vision for our times. Imagery and metaphor best describe "Creation of the New." Its words reflect the powerful effects brought forth by its author Mari Perron. Her authentic mystical voice is reminiscent of Mechtild of Magdeburg; at once feminine and supremely intelligent. "Creation" introduces a post-apocalyptic era. Perron is not hesitant to use apocalyptic language, or to acknowledge the apocalyptic nature of the times in which we live, yet her emphasis is upon the prophetic announcement of the birth of the new "Babe," the "jewel of humanity" hidden in the obvious. Creation's message is of imminent importance in these turbulent and painful times. As we each experience the apocalypse with ourselves - as the death of the old and birth of the new - the same crisis of death and rebirth is occurring in the world. It is in progress. Our awareness and embrace of this transformational time is crucial to keeping "the burning Cause of hope alive within the heart when no cause is left for hope."
