the steeple of a woodland's spruce
Tall church steeples were built as a reminder to stay focused on God from a distant view. To help carry the sound of God throughout the land, that now is the time to worship. They act as a grounding point for our lives here on earth, while giving our souls direction to heaven when that time comes, if you believe.
I felt somewhat like a man of faith when I stood before this spruce. It's steeple of limbs spiraling upwards to great heights, to the heavens if you will. The gentle whisps of wind flowing music of nature to my ears from the birds nestled above me. My life felt grounded to earth's creator, as much as the roots of this spruce below me. I worshiped that moment and was visually blessed by my surroundings.
As beautiful, and purposeful, church steeples are, so is this steeple of a simple spruce, maybe more so.
