Who has thought deeply enough to reach the floor of the soul? We busy ourselves with a vast quantity of reading material with the spiritual depth of a tweet about the lives of people we know or admire. By doing so we continually nourish our soul with shallow waters, but I ask why not drink more deeply? A tree with shallow roots is easily cast down by the wind, and so the shallow soul is manipulated, deceived, and destroyed. I ask that we expose ourselves to difficult and opposing ideas that we might grow more deeply and stand taller and stronger. Life is not just about length, but depth..------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell." -C.G.
