Some Beginnings

I will open with some quotes from Rav Kook's notebooks, the Shmoneh Kvatzim with the english translation from Avinoam Rosenak.

"On no account is he capable of confining his soul to prescribed studies. He must therefore set loose his spirit to wander in accordance with its inclination. Let him seek the Lord wherever his soul, hovering above the many waters, leads him. . ." (1:151)

"Prophecy and the holy spirit come from a person’s inwardness, and from withinhim, he overflows to everything related to the world as a whole." (8:127)

"I love the oceans, sailing through the heavens; for them I long "(3:222)
