Symbolism is a very powerful tool in conveying a message. Icons, trees, boxes and other things in our world can be symbolic of something that is meaningful. Metaphors paint a picture in words and those words are themselves symbolic of things in life that help tell a story. Symbols and metaphors relay a larger truth that people need to hear. So many rely upon a literal translation of things where 1 and 2 equals 3 all the time, well it does but perhaps there is another truth that can be told in that. We need to look dimensionally and see things in a new way. In faith there are symbols that tell its story in a unique way. Everyone needs symbolism to help us understand and communicate. Everywhere you look there are symbols of things that help us to know what they are about.
