The Whispers of a Deeper Ground
   Look at a tree. Not just a glance, but a true observation. See how it claims its space between the earth and the heavens, its branches dancing with the gale, its leaves a vibrant testimony to the changing seasons. It stands resilient, offering fruit to the hungry and shade to the weary.
But the tree’s true life is a secret. Its strength does not reside in the visible bark or the sprawling canopy. Its power—it’s very being—is hidden in the unseen. It is rooted. Deep within the dark, silent earth, a vast network draws sustenance, anchoring the tree against the fiercest storms.
So too is the human soul.
