INSCRUTABLE TREE MUSINGS
INSCRUTABLE TREE MUSINGS
Spirit and matter are life conjoined. Easily said. Less easily understood.
Mankind perceives life to be mobile and to be active. But mobility and activity are merely conceptions and perceptions. Life is larger than our perceptions or conceptions of life.
For all meteors, comets, asteroids streak through space by invisible means. The sun radiates, revolves rotates, energizes beyond the pale of our solar system and understanding as does our Earth, its moon that revolves and rotates in sync with the earth. And within our spirit-filled bodies of life trillions of cells live, reproduce, do the work, with no visible means of mobility, activity ; yet they activate, they synchronize, synthesize life.
It is no wonder, then, that eons of astronomers, priests, philosophers, farmers, hunters, sailors, artists, musicians, teachers, preachers, mathematicians, physicists, poets, lawyers, physicians, writers, butchers, cooks, scientists, unskilled laborers, skilled craftsmen, fishermen, scholastic doctors, and every genre of mankind, and person must muse on the mysteries of divine nature in human beings and in the universe!
Consider, then, that sacred tree of life, death, knowledge, wisdom that was lodged-located in the center of the Garden of Eden. What mobility or activity made its fruit differently?
God is that "tree" of life , death , wisdom, knowledge with roots reaching beyond infinity, whose sheltering limbs transcend eternity, comprising all understanding. Still God's tree's fruit mobilize, activate in us the similitude of God on earth.
Inscrutable is our God! Amen !
