Hope and Future
Jeremiah 29:11
— NLTFor I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
A prophetic assurance of God's plans for a hopeful future.
The passageThe letter this comes from tells the exiles to build houses in Babylon, plant gardens, and seek the welfare of the city that took them — for seventy years. The promise of a future is addressed to people who will not live to see it, and is offered instead of rescue.

Triquetra
The Celtic Trinity Knot
Three arcs, one unbroken line: distinct forces that hold only because each relies on the others.
What it meansThree arcs drawn without lifting the pen: the figure is one continuous line that looks like three things. Whatever triad it has been used for — and it has served several — the reading is always that the parts are distinguishable and not separable.

Dara Knot
Roots of the Oak Tree
Strength that is all underground: what holds through a storm is the part no one ever sees.
What it meansThe whole figure is root, and that is the argument: an oak stands through a storm because of a structure nobody has ever looked at. Strength here is defined as the part that is not on display, and the emblem shows only what is normally underground.
