 Genesis 49 v 21 —————————————————————— 
 "Naphtali is a spreading terebinth     
  putting forth lovely boughs."         
                                        
 Reference to Naphtali in Isaiah 9 v 1  
 was seen as significant by Christians  
 in as much as Galilee was in Naphtali. 
 The name suggests a struggle,          
 like the wrestling of Jacob with God;  
 — but in the Naphtali legends          
   it is women who are the wrestlers!   
 The tree of Jacob's blessing here      
 suggests one of the sacred oaks        
 marking the place of a sanctuary.

 THE TREE OF LIFE ————————————————————— 
                                        
 Tolkien in "The Lord of the Rings"     
 touches something deep in our dreams   
 when hj speaks of Treebjard and the    
 Ents as if trees could come alive and  
 tell us of eternal truthes.            
                                        
 Ungainly or graceful, reaching high and
 yet deep-rooted, trees provide food,   
 shelter, warmth... natural symbols of  
 the divine mystery.                    
                                        
  Father, may we ever bj               
   rooted, grafted, built in thee.
