"Blessed
are those who trust in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.
They
shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It
shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of
drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit."
Jeremiah 17, Wednesday Holy
Week, the Reading, the Daily Office Book, Year One
The
deeper we prayerfully enter into our deeper selves, the deeper we enter into our true being, and we set deep roots by the silent banks of our hearts where forever flows the cool waters of
Spirit. We learn to know the crises at hand, the tribulation, is just a harsh
season which will pass by again and though it is a hot harsh wind blowing
across the landscape of life, our roots are set deep and draw water from the cool
waters of the ever present Life. We learn. We know. We love. We become more fearless the longer we remain,
we offer the birds a roost in the cover of our branches and the fawn lingers
under the cool shade of our limbs. Our roots run deeper still with every
passing year, they run deeper and we are firm in the ground of Being.
