The whole cosmos is a Self-giving of God. And we will find our place in the great dance only to the extent that we love.
~ from CHRIST OF THE CELTS by J. Philip Newell
So many seasons have come and gone and these tall, majestic tress have waited, waited for someone to linger just a moment -- long enough to hear the word they speak, grasp their wonder and beauty, perfect symmetry of trunk and branch -- revealing their essence to the one who has eyes to see and the heart to share a joyful moment with another.
