Fruit is nourishing present/future.
Root is nourishing past/present.

(??)

Ties together with seeds of fruit creating more roots for people downline from the original Tree.

Thoughts?

[eldriwolf]

sounds good-- Thank you !
-There was already the bit that roots "last longer" than branches
there was/is some *Time* as part of these virtues

[vicki_sine]

This connects with a dream I had, than you so much for sharing this!
I think you just changed how I write...and maybe how I think.

What a wonderful relevation!

[eldriwolf]

--Thank you.--It has changed how *I* think. (though it took a while to settle in)
it was past time to share it more

So where do the squirrels fit in?

(Sorry, there's a story behind that, I need to write about it in a locked post, it's that mind-bending ^_^;;)

[eldriwolf]

----Squirrels?---lets see---
- They are agents of change---they *move* those "forward-seeking" fruits/nuts
...messangers....
---According to one of my friends, "Squirrels are the entertainment committee."
the word for squirrel in (I believe) Norwegian, is 'acorn'
....and there is that Squirrel on the world tree

[eldriwolf]

OH, and, please tell me the squirrel story!

[katzedecimal]

It is here, in a Feri-Selkies-only locked post.

As a closet Qabalist, I quite understand the sentiment behind "How can you think without trees??" - I can't, I must admit, I find myself thinking of just about everything in terms of the Tree of LIfe =B No Qabalistic squirrels yet, though.

For some reason it makes perfect sense to me, that's a bit frightening but no virtue stands alone it'r rooted in your personality and when you are expressing one virtue you are modeling others also. There isn't one virtue. It may be one fruit of a virtuous life? Does that make any sense to you?

[eldriwolf]

"no virtue stands alone"
--- Exactly!-----They are *Trees*!!--"Tree" is a part of *forest*, complex, interdependent.
If you cut down one tree, others are more apt to fall.

"How can you think without trees?"

Classic. I was laughing even before you said that might be the best line of the conversation.

I have now seen two posts by you and each of them makes me come back and re-read them many times. I think I'll be doing that again here.

[eldriwolf]

---Yhank you!--(wait, I like that, the short form of, 'why, thank you'...heh)
...good thing too, I see I have some editing to do....

[droops]

You know, I really didn't understand this fully until I had a similar experience a week or so ago. It makes more sense now.

[eldriwolf]

--the typo I decided *not* to change--or the whole virtue thing...?

....Or the shop help who wander up, and mumble "Kelpue?" ("Can I help you?")
to which one may reply, "N'hankque" (no, thank you)
--or as I saw, 'Y'hanks' (yes thanks)
