Out behind Jacob’s yard is a path through some Vineyard wetlands.  That path leads to a meadow where lives The Big Tree.  For many the tree invites climbing.  For me, it invites circling and wonder.  Each angle, each side brings a different relationship of light and space, of intersections and relationships.  And that is a lot like my friend Jacob.  Each day with him invites a new perspective, a new way of seeing and appreciating, curiosity and wonder.  Even though we may not always be able to see or understand the whole picture, god is truly in the details – in the smallest of gestures, the most subtle flickers of light.  That, I believe, is where we truly find him, and where he can also find us.
