Rabboni in Prayer

Humble, elevated. A place where heaven pierces through clay to reach heaven again.

Rabboni teaches to pray. Alone, jointly, for each other. To kneel is to be like Him.

Burnished bright vulnerable, comforted, sacrosanct. What words make up that holy writ.

Colorful complex layers plait together into a singular, gleaming line.

I specifically wanted this piece to be about the humility and teaching within the recorded prayers of Jesus Christ. Rabboni means teacher or master. I find those two seeming contrary traits often describe Him. His prayers with the Father must've been so intimate. I like to picture all the colorful layers of this communication coming together almost like a reverse prism, into a singular ray of light.

If you look closely in the bottom right corner there is the symbol of the squared circle which is intended to mean the place where heaven and earth meet. I'm not sure there is a better example where mortality meets heaven than within Christ and especially while he prays and teaches us to pray to the Father.
