The wall art was simple, unique, and, to me, powerful. Multiple succulents share a common purpose of storing water within themselves for when it is needed most, each with a unique structure and message. These plants are not, to my knowledge, native. They are representative of the different ways life and nature store what we need the most.
I wake to a day that reminds me of the heat that is coming. The sun, dust, and humidity combine to give me a taste of the challenges that are just around the corner. With this awareness, the artful arrangements of succulents on the wall tell me of the ways Divinity tailors her message to each willing to hear.
Experience replays the many different voices of Divinity, each getting through in a way I could hear. A writer noted that “Going through a long line of prophets, God has been addressing our ancestors in different ways for centuries.” (Hebrews 1.1). The message was the same though the messenger, voice, and words varied. As I remember, I appreciate those who open my mind to the many voices, faith systems, and methods of Divine communication. Many have squandered the message. There are those witnesses who got it then and now. To each, thank you for reminding me that love, kindness, and care are at the heart of every principle and value.
There is a common theme in Divinity voice. At the heart of it are wells of life-sustaining water, each a message that when consumed restores one’s heart and soul. It is easy to forget that water is at the core of life and living. Without it, we will die. With it, especially when consumed regularly and in enough quantity, we flourish.
Succulents also remind me that life is a battle and even the best things come with a message that I may not want to hear. I love the truth, even when it is painful. In the awareness that Divinity has prepared what I will need in advance, the wall of succulents helped me see Divinity with renewed clarity.
