Daily Signet

Roots reaching deep into the earth, we suck life greedily.
We are of the earth, we are earth.
Buffeted by wind, watered by storms, we face nature greedily.
We are shaped by nature. We are nature.
Leaves stretching high into heaven, we suck light greedily.
We are of the heavens. We are heaven.

Anchored to earth, joined to heaven, potential flows through us greedily.
We bridge the gap. We connect the poles.

The thunderbolt of God’s Grace strikes searing scars.

Oh, God, How sweet the blessing of life and death.
