Half Empty Half Full

I'm starting to adjust to this strange world, when... it shifts

The shape of the world depends on how we choose to view it
If a mountain is a deity (not a pile of ore), My God!
How much more does she provide, it is nature
Simply to survive, the rivers are veins,
Let them pour into your heart
Let the waters pour!

In the land of your forefathers, her sacred forest
Cathedral groves carpet the floor, reach to heaven
Not timber or toothpicks, branches or twigs, but
Build ships of war, stars to guide or
Wandering stars, conquering more
Consuming every biological resource
Devouring all who stand in its path
Laying waste to lands as deserts
To create graveyards of sand and dust
When will we learn to trust our mother
Earth with true respect

It is our choice, this is our door
Half empty or half full, cup of life
Trapped in persecution rejected in exile
The first tree of life, that gave us sin
We all have tasted of that sin and its painful
And destructive consequences, that causes so much
Pain and grief, the children of Adam and Eve, even in
Giving us free will, to choose, life or death, faith or fate
The second tree of life, that cross, that bear all sins unto death,
That second tree brings us back to life, so that we might overcome death

The Tree of Life representing Man's fall from grace

“If any man would come after Me let him deny himself, take up His Cross daily and follow Me” (Mk 8: 34)

Second Tree of Life : .[Spoiler (click to open)]. Christ of the Cross

I finally figured out that there are two trees of Life, the tree of life in Eden, and secondly, the cross of Christ's salvation



Created by John Collier in 2008, the Tree of Life is a 100 inch-tall bronze sculpture
