Between the Trees

It's where we're all living: between these trees {And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9)} and this one {On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22: 1-2)}.

How I Feel About Trees

Trees to me are strength, stability, solace. I feel sheltered and soothed under their shadows. Serendipitously, two of the most-frequently-traveled thoroughfares of my daily life are lovely, tree-lined boulevards. I often find myself breathing deeply and calming as I drive along under the arching boughs, a fact unknown to but nonetheless undoubtedly beneficial to those whose paths intersect mine on this journey.
