That gives you life
That brings you through periods of loneliness
That comforts when people forsake you
That cheers you on when you have failed
That encourages you when your expected door does not open.
The Vine is your belief system: it is the inner voice compelling you to keep going, not to give up.
Therefore, whatever dominates your life resides within you: Whether it is
Love or hate,
Envy or jealousy,
Trust or fear,
Compassion or Kindness,
Joy or Sincerity,
Gentleness or patience.
To think that the course of your life is dependent upon your decision about The Vine is awesome. Either The Vine will become your
Dictator or your lover,
Friend or your competitor,
Inner peace or your inner war.
The Vine is the never ending source that will walk with you throughout your maturation process: You will never be alone.
Ciao,
Pat Garcia
"I am the vine and you are the branches; if a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit. Without me you can do nothing." John 15:5. I love you Pat.
ReplyDeleteThis vine runs through the series with your philosophical writings stamped on every leaf.

The vine can be restricting or lead us astray depending on the nutrients it needs, but regardless it is there for us. You have a glorious, healthy, vibrant vine. I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou have a delightful posting dear Pat! Thanks!
Love it! Whether it is sleeping during the harsh elemental cold spells or lush and vibrant during the temperate warmth it is there and holding on, like you and your words!
ReplyDeleteFor me the Holy spirit is the vine and I am but the branch--an honored thing to be. A vine has strength and endurance as you mention--just like you.

The vine can pull us forward through the difficulties and give us something to hold on to when we are struggling.
