This tree.
The trees which surround it.
Unique in its silence.
‘Planted by water’[i]
‘Finding strength’ after fire[ii]

Unhindered despite the appearance, moving towards ‘newness of life’[iii]
Ah.

In 2014 may hope find you.
May faith, humility and reason all guide you,
as God’s grace is found to be completely embracing you.
