My comment in response to this entry is Yes. I concur! But it also reminded me (and goes with your pruning thoughts, I also love garden metaphors!!) of a piece from Job I'd never really noticed before, but read in another blog yesterday (lying in bed sick but awake at 4 or 5 am):<br /><br />"For there is hope for a tree,<br />if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,<br />and that its shoots will not cease.<br />Though its roots grow old in the earth,<br />and its stump die in the soil,<br />yet at the scent of water it will bud and put out branches like a young plant.”<br />(Job 14:7-9)<br /><br />Scent of water!! That's all it takes, dude, bring it on... Hope that strikes a chord somewhere for you :)Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04528240631378597719noreply@blogger.com
