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.
