Again, the readings this weekend provide us with much wisdom for ourselves as we find ourselves in times of transition and uncertainty. The simple yet profound reminders for us to be connected to the source of our life like grape vine branches are to their main vine.
Most of us have seen a grape vine at one time or another, looking closely, we see the many intertwined branches, winding their way around one another in intricate patterns of tight curls that make it impossible to tell where one branch starts or another one ends. This is not just intricate; it’s intimate, and the vine shares with its branches the nutrients that sustain it, the life force of the whole plant. The vine is truly one with the branches.
