The Priest and the Man

Ashes from ashes The eternal tree arises. With Roots deeply rooted, In the dust of dusts. In which our sins gather. “O Priest, o priest what do these words in my visions mean” the man says. The priest replies “My son, my son I do not know, For I too have these visions, but that tree you see is etched on my chest”.

A scary image. I'd have wished a symbol of goodness to be softer. Light & Love
