Yesterday’s devotion in our congregation’s Advent series had this paper cut art by Hannah Garrity entitled Spark of Divinity (Inset in image). It is a beautiful piece with a great depth of meaning to it tied to Mark 13. But what really caught my eye were the roots. I loved how in the piece the roots are exposed reaching out to the stars that have fallen. As I took in this piece, I thought of a tree that I have walked by so many times that is rooted right at the edge of a small gorge and how it continues to stay strong even though it seems so very precarious. We don’t often see the roots of a tree (and there are far deeper roots for this tree than can be seen here) but we see the ways that they provide for the health and strength of the tree.
