This icon of the mystic and theologian Howard Thurman draws on his meditations on the spiritual ‘Jacob’s Ladder’: We are all climbing Jacob’s ladder, and every round goes higher and higher. All who recognize this as a living part of their experience join with those early destiny-bound singers who marched through all the miseries of slavery confident that they could not be entirely earth-bound.” — Deep River, 86-87

The imagery borrows from William Blake’s illustration of Genesis 28.
