Jesus said to his disciples:
"I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vine grower.
We may learn that
we are rooted in Christ
that regardless the atmosphere
regardless our stunted growth
regardless our daily dyings
we have the potential
we are the potential
to bloom
because of Christ our earth
because of Christ our atmosphere
we are the seed from
the Father’s hand
we are the breaking shell
sending down roots
Reaching our shoots
up stretching toward
our Maker
—J. Janda
