like interlocked arms – v4

the roots of the giant redwoods

not deep, like you might imagine;

vulnerable to the wind,

their roots near the surface.

they are intertwined with their neighbors

stronger cords together;

like interlocked arms, joined

hands on another’s forearm.

we are stronger together, united,

in service to one another;

bound with Jesus,

we are alive in the vine.
