It is a Hebrew word – meaning “bring forth.”  Other definitions include: to sprout, shoot, grow green.

I listened to a talk about it.  It’s this idea that all of creation – everything created – has within it the ability to create and “bring forth.”  Apple trees have the ability to create more apple trees.  Weeds have the ability to dasha – or bring forth more weeds.  Most animals can dasha – bring forth offspring.  Mama goats can dasha baby goats and likewise, people have the ability to bring forth and create more people.

The talk that I listened to described the ability for humans to create – not just other humans, but to create other things.  That you and I were born with the ability and capability to dasha – art and music and ideas and words.  You can create – not out of nothing – but you can create out of something.  You can take things that you’ve learned and create new ideas and new things from them.  You can take creation – that which was called good – and create other things.  You can take a guitar and create a new melody line or a new chord sequence and create something new and never heard before – or at least never heard before in that way.

You can dasha – bring forth new creations be it words, music, paintings, drawings or photographs.  It’s your God given capability.

I’m not a Hebrew scholar by any stretch of the imagination, and if you are a Hebrew scholar please help me to understand it better.  We were created to create – to bring forth new things out of something.  What a cool concept to be able to create and bring forth.
