The Two Trees (16 of 33)

The Two Trees (16 of 33) June 20, 2004

[Meditations are intended to be read sequentially, from 1 to 33.]

Again in the Wilderness …

“Don’t want to go to the Hill. Involves commitment.”

The Garden is much better. It requires nothing but your presence. The beautiful creature is a wonderful host. He is so smart, cunning, and encouraging. He makes us feel good, godlike.

We find the Hill generally depressing. “Except when there,” whispers our soul — but, we know better. What good is a soul? Does it feed you? Thrill you? Does the soul ever dance, sing, or laugh?

Doubt.

Doubting in the Wilderness. We’re tired. Our memory races toward the past. The man who claimed to be king. The sinful pleasures of the Garden. The bitter deeds brought on by the beautiful fruit. The dying man. The blood. The Tree. Which tree?
