Ah, Lord God, the Tree of Life image has been a prominent image as of late in my readings, in conversation, in study, in myth. The image of leaves on a tree that brings healing to the nations. . . so hard for me to imagine a tree with the number of leaves it would take to accomplish that feat today. A formidible task, indeed! The quaking aspen comes to mind: the trembling leaves, the wondrous sound in the breeze. Bring healing, O Merciful God, upon the earth. Day after weary day the inhabitants of this earth weep their weary lives away. Bring healing, O Compassionate God, to this bruised and broken earth. Amen
Genesis 46.28; I Samuel 16.7; Revelation 22.2
