like our cousins the trees

Like our cousins the trees,
we root and ground
while spreading our branches
to the cosmos.

  1. It is so important to plant that seed/seedling in the proper soil, etc. if it is to grow strong, tall, and spread its limbs and leaves to the heavens.

    So many planted in rotten ground without proper care...so many...yet we can hope!

  3. Charles, I heard this old Baptist preacher on the radio when I was a kid. Lester Roloff. He said something that stuck with me: "Look at the root and not the fruit." He may have been the first metaphysician that struck home with me.
