Primary Scripture
The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
Revelation 12:15-16
Share This Art:
Though the earth does nothing but give and asks nothing in return
Though the earth in its vastness has the capacity to swallow our sins,
Though the earth to all opens its embrace
And so we take
And so our greed lacerates its skin
And so the earth’s open arms hang upon our cross
