God is the silent Power behind all things,
always ready to pur int our experience that which we need.
God works for us by working through us as us.
~ TEACHING OF THE MYSTIC by Ruth Lambek
The tree of life is one's inner axis that grows from the depths of the earth and reaches to the heavens. It connects together the primal opposites of the temporal and the eternal. It is life lived from the "still center of the turning world" and it embraces the deepest human mystery: that we are eternal beings living in a world of time.
