The Ideas in the Leaves

Think of all the leaves on all the trees on earth, and what if each leaf is a symbol for an idea. If the ideas are divine, they are endless, always unfolding to the receptive thought. The founding fathers of America entertained divine ideas when they created an unprecedented system of humane government, and a platform of human rights, protected by a constitution. All wrapped up in the American system, the tools established and brought forward, such as the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist papers, state constitutions, paved the way for the highest standard of living ever experienced on earth, the strongest economy on earth, many inventions to raise the standard of living for all populations on earth, a compassionate people, and many technological advances.

Each leaf, a mirror of perfection, proof of God’s good presence, an expression of continuation. The American system is like that, in its founding platform. It is either kept or lost. The platform remaind, but people decide whether they want it or reject it. The dark ages came and took away the earlier attempts at democracy and republicanism. Benjamin Franklin commented that the founders created a republic if the citizens can keep it.

Life in the trees

The trees always offer life, life in the millions of leaves, never competing, but collaborating harmoniously in the tremendous project called photosynthesis. Life is what photosynthesis is about, and it is an ongoing project for the benefit of living organisms.

There is an ongoing project of spirituality happening all around us, the play of light, shades of green, movements of earh forms and periodic precipitation to enrich this project. The Creator is always reflecting goodness, manifested as nature. This spiritual, not material, nature is our real home.

Witness the ongoing energy in nature, as provided by photosynthesis metaphorically, as well as physically.

The tree in its system, perfection is nature at its best. A tree demonstrate the elements in a system, and harmony in a systematic divine order. We honor and adore trees, as they are symbols of divine care and protection. They filter out impurities, purify the air, hold earth in place, and hold steadfast check over the world.
