Roots and Wings

Roots are our relationship with our source.
Roots ground us. They bring nourishment and energy. They provide the wind beneath our wings.

Wings are our external relationships (feathers), supported by our internal relationships (underlying structure).

So, to fly requires us to maintain a triad of high quality relationships.
Source
Internal
External

Nature is the source; the mother. In Christian terms; the Father.
Internal is flesh and associated psyche. In Christian terms; the Son.
External relationships build social Spirit.
