The tree of Life

God is like a big and leafy tree,

full of sap and life,

which is renewed without end.

God is the tree,

we are its branches and (its) leaves.

If we are torn from the tree

we wither and dry,

but together we bear fruit.

Branches are nothing without the tree

and the tree is nothing without its branches.

Each one can not be who he is without the Other

and both to one,

are a renewed and unfinished life.

The tree's life is very special,

because he is able to do something amazing:

It becomes seed.

The big tree and its leafy branches,

(they) become seed

falling off the branch

and are hidden in the earth

From that seed, it sprouts again

little by little the Other and the same huge tree

and its green branches, which,

greet each other smiling.

Like that, so special and admirable

the tree's life,

at his birth, dying

at and his death, being born.

So, never forget, please, the following:

the branch alone is not a branch

the branch is always a branch of the tree

that in both fruit and seed

it renews without end.

With all my love

Mummy
