I always think of tiny seeds growing into majestic trees as a perfect metaphor for little children growing into powerful adults (but that might just be because I spend most of my time with three kids). :) What beautiful imagery you evoke, Belinda.

The theme of our retreat is "community." I talk about how the roots of the redwood go only about 11-13 feet deep...but they extend 60-80 feet outward and link up with the other roots. That's how they get their strength. Great image! I use the image of the redwood in a homily that I give to the freshmen students at the school where I’m chaplain.

Glad I showed my face
