Very interesting and touching as well as great word placement. Wish I could hear the cries of the Sequoia like God does. Maybe if I listen more closely.. Always, Laura

this is very nice, James. It could work well in the contest for personifying a tree.

This is a very effective prayer my friend. It is also unusual enough to captivate ones thought.

Uncharacteristic humility for the sequoia emphasized by the small "i", bowing to its creator...such powerful message here, James. Great write! hugs!
