The woods have beckoned as the warm Spring brings forth signs of new life everywhere. Buds have grown fat and opened up to reveal flowers and leaves. Predictable, yes, Oaks bring forth oak leaves and dogwoods bring forth their familiar flowers. The lifeless brown world of Winter is invaded by color. We know it is coming and we anticipate it.
Likewise our sacred texts tell us that G-d intends to renew the world. Against the world's sensless violence the Master of all things weaves a story of Divine Love and Renewal. It too is predictable. Read the 60th chapter of Isaiah and Revelation 21 and 22.
Dogwood.
Redbud.
Maple.
Oak.
How beautiful! His reminders are all around us.
