Then, just last year I was away on retreat and re-read it for our group. It had a whole new meaning for me! See, we had been discussing the importance of fluidity and interaction with one another especially trying to make spirit connections. This requires movement outward, making yourself vulnerable and being flexible for the most rich relationships. This could be viewed as the horizontal "arms" of the cross. <br /><br />The vertical line of the cross is when we reach up to God in stillness maybe we can "hear"him whisper. For me the metapohor of tree as cross was beautiful and unintentioinal on a conscious level. God keeps speaking to us in deeper more meaningful ways as we are ready to hear the message.anita brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271160368638292767noreply@blogger.com
