An artistic interlude

With the students all on holiday this week, it has left plenty of time for reflection: here are some of the results; in painting and poetry.

I Am

I am the Bread of Life

I am the food for the  hungry

Sustenance and strength

Bread

Holiness found in the every day

I am the Light of the World

I am the flame that flickers in the night

Inspiration and joy

Light

Shining in the darkness

I am the Gate of the Sheep

I am the way in and the way out

Comfort and challenge

The gate

A place of new beginnings

I am the Good Shepherd

I am standing in the midst of my sheep

Guide and protector

Shepherd

And slaughtered lamb

I am the Resurrection and the Life

I am hope for the future

Forgiveness and rebirth

Resurrection and Life

An unending second chance

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life

I am opening a door for you

Faith and fullness

Way, Truth, Life

The promise of a Father’s love

I am the True Vine

I am intertwined with my branches

Support and source

Vine

Bearing much fruit

I am.

(John 6:35; 8:12; 10:7; 10:14; 11:25; 14:6; 15:1)
