The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air

Theodor Schwenk

Translated by Olive Whicher & Johanna Weigley

More than ever before, today we need "water consciousness" and we can begin with this essential and classic book on water as the universal bearer of living, formative processes.

Beginning with simple flowing phenomena of water and air, Schwenk gradually builds up, with the help of marvelous photographs and drawings, the "letters" of an alphabet that will allow us to "read" the living meaning of water.

The spiritual, formative processes are gradually brought to light, and we come to recognize the Creative Word in the universe.

Fully illustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and poetic view of science November 23, 1998

By Thomas R. Blakeslee

Format:Paperback

This beautiful book remains scientifically accurate while describing in poetic and spiritual style the flowing of fluids in nature. A beautiful collection of pictures illustrates how even living things follow the rules of fluid flow as new cells flow forth in the growth process.

5.0 out of 5 stars inspiring March 26, 2011

By Apryl Dawn

Format:Paperback

I must agree completely with the first two reviews. They each summarize the essence of this book. I was newly exploring my interest in water and ecological design when I came upon Theodore Schwenk. Sensitive Chaos filled me with inspiration and was consistent with the science I knew. Years later, I still think of this book.

I originally found this book in 1980 and then it went out of print. I was happy to see it back and bought it for a friend.
