i wouldnt be able to let go if i didnt trust that you would catch me
your thoughts are higher than mine
no matter how i stretch, i cant comprehend you

like a single solitary tree left standing after a hurricane,
i am alone

yet as i look at the destruction around my feet
i remember that there is only one reason i am still standing after the storm
i have strong roots, and these roots go deep

not everyone knows the tree illustration
but you should know it's all about foundation
dont build your house on the sandy land
find some bedrock
and drill deep.



i stand awe
i kneel in humility
i fall down in worship
