Little green things, you shall be with me in my kingdom

Often I have seen Him bending down to touch the blades of grass. And in my heart I have heard Him say: “Little green things, you shall be with me in my kingdom, even as the oaks of Besan., and the cedars of Lebanon.”…

And He loved the almond blossoms. I have seen Him gathering them into His hands and covering His face with the petals, as though He would embrace with His love all the trees in the world…

He knew the mountains as eagles know them, and the valleys as they are known by the brooks and the streams. And there was a desert in His silence, and a garden in His speech.
