Central Park Inspiration?

Leavenworth, WA - The best images I've found celebrating the goal of sustainability as the Tricircle Program seeks to articulate it, are located, of all places, in Central Park, New York. And they are beautiful! Take a look!






A tricircle, nestled within a circle...

...cradles a bird on her nest, secure in the leafy branches of a tree.










A different bird wings its way across what has to be a clear, blue sky...







...while others flock to the safety and shelter of some tree branches while, I'm sure, embracing life in song.





Artist celebrates in stone what Tricircle Program aspires to enact in life. That within a world embraced by the Godhead of Creator, Savior and Sustainer (symbolized by the tricircle image), creation rejoices in birth, flight and song, thriving because faithful people, loving God, choose to live profitably on the earth while caring for people and planet (the 3P's, also symbolized by the tricircle image). [For more thoughts on this please read...]

And so...
...the tricircle of the divine Godhead...Father, Son and Holy Spirit...Creator, Savior and Sustainer...
...joins the tricircle of sustainable earth...people, planet, and profit...economy, ecology and equity...
...within the circle-vision of God's Kingdom that has no beginning and no end,
...to unite heaven and earth that all creation might sing.
