Foundation

Foundation

Definition

The base upon which a structure is built, typically below ground level, supporting all weight above.

Interpretation

What holds it all. Foundations are unseen but essential โ€” both in homes and in humans. Without a rooted beginning, nothing lasting can rise. Foundations are integrity made material.

Living Invitation

Ask yourself: what is my foundation built on โ€” in values, relationships, time, or trust? Does it need reinforcing?
