I am a tree in your house, Lord, flourishing under your care and protection.
A beautiful specimen am I, yet am I also ornamental? Of what purpose is the indoor tree?
Olives along my boughs, or lemons. These will give nourishment.
How could I have known what use you would make of me? Let me trust in you, Lord, that even my small life has purpose.
(Letter #2,963)
