Oh I love these geological sybmols - I have a friend who is drawing the symbols and the one she has drawn of this is one of my favs
Jones Key Word: Endurance
Jane Ridder-Patrick : Right carotid artery
Crystal : Sandstone Sandstone a quartz-felspar rich sedimentary rock often forms highly visible cliffs. Spiritually, sandstone provides enduring strength and energy - its true, we often surround ourselves with sandstone - walls, paths and sculptures
A few ideas - Resilience enduring strength support, withstand hardships, Panoramic outlook, permanence and stability. Geoogy - geological history - long time periods - weathering chemical and physical. It reminds me of physical places - canyons, cliffs, gardens etc.
I also think of this hymn -
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
[originally When my eye-strings break in death]
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
I know its the 'rock' rather than the physical rock - cause physical rock can bread down - over eons, but its the nature of rock the power and energy... I do love that hymn....
