The Heavens are Open

Joseph's First Vision in the Sacred Grove revealed profound truths—foremost that the heavens are not silent. They are open, ever ready to receive and send divine communication. God, in His infinite mercy, continues to speak to us, personally and through modern prophets. To me, the Sacred Grove represents more than just a place; it is a sanctuary of divine connection, a symbol of the sacred spaces we must create in our own lives.

Life is loud—do we seek the quiet stillness required to commune with our Creator? In our personal sacred groves, we can quiet the world and genuinely listen. Whenever I seek out a sacred grove, a safe, quiet place, and endeavor to communicate with the Captain of my Soul, He speaks, and my heart hears him. I attempted to capture the essence of this principle by depicting light & truth streaming through still tree branches, distilling upon the soul like the dew from heaven.
