What's in a name ?

trel·lis n. 1. A structure of open latticework, especially one used as a support for vines and other creeping plants. 2. An arbor or arch made of latticework.

trel·lised, trel·lis·ing, trel·lis·es v. 1. To provide with a trellis, especially to train (a vine) on a trellis. 2. To make (something) in the form of a trellis.

We can each be a trellis for each other AND for Christ ("THE vine") to interweave Himself in our existence. I like the openess of a trellis structure. transparency is good.

[Middle English trelis, from Old French, from Vulgar Latin *trilcius, from Latin trilx, trilc-, woven with three threads : tri-, tri- + lcium, thread. "woven with three threads"] The Latin derivative of the word trellis reminds me of the following scripture:

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Existence is all about relationship.
