Chapter 5- Economy: Exercise 2


 Exercise 2

Tools required:


  • Matchsticks
  • Seed/nut of tree or seedling prepared



Part 1:



Without the assistance of glue or of twine, take the matchsticks and build up the form of a miniature house.




As you are building examine each match being mindful of the tree which it must have come from. Try to picture the whole tree - the size of it, for example - in relation to this match now in your hand. Now go on to contemplate further the forest community from which this tree must have belonged, and the very spirit of the trees in ages past, soaking sap and standing firm, right into the age of today, in same ground.



Say a prayer for the life which was this tree and is now a match.



Sovereign one of the matches as a reminder of this exercise.



Part 2:



Go and plant a tree.
