"The tree is an intrinsically "numinous" being. Solidified, a great fountain of life rises in the trunk, spreads in the branches, scatters in a spray of leaves and flowers and fruits. With a slow, silent ferocity the roots go burrowing down into the earth. Tender, yet irresistible, life battles with the unliving stones and has the mastery. Half hidden in the darkness, half displayed in the air of heaven, the tree stands there, magnificent..."
Aldous Huxley, The Olive Tree
"He is like a tree planted by streams of water"
David of the Psalms concerning righteous men
Righteousness is full of brilliance. If you are in the Light, you are awe-inspiring. Stay. Do not waver. Have courage. The hosts of heaven are on your side.
