More From Jim Rohn

Christians, of all people, should not be destroyers. we should treat nature with an overwhelming respect. we may cut down a tree to build a house, or to make a fire to keep the family warm. but we should not cut down the tree just to cut down the tree. we may, if necessary, bark the cork tree in order to have the use of the bark. but what we should not do is to bark the tree simply for the sake of doing so, and let it dry and stand there a dead skeleton in the wind. to do so is not to treat the tree with integrity.

Do you say that tree isn't pretty cause it doesn't look like that tree? we're all trees. you're a tree. i'm a tree. you've got to love your body, eve. you've got to love your tree. love your tree. (leah)
Tree Looks Body
Sometimes i come across a tree which seems like buddha or jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. how much can i learn from a tree? the tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.

Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `that is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? to come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.
Hands Tree Mind
Leaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. the leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. in this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. we are all children of society, but we are also mothers. we have to nourish society. if we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.

The value of the things is not in themselves autonomously, but that god made them, and thus they deserve to be treated with high respect. the tree in the field is to be treated with respect. it is not to be romanticized as the old lady romanticizes her cat (that is, she reads human reactions into it). this is wrong because it is not true. when you drive the axe into the tree when you need firewood, you are not cutting down a person; you are cutting down a tree. but while we should not romanticize the tree, we must realize god made it and it deserves respect because he made is as a tree.
