Ezekiel

Mother trees are the biggest in the forest. Through the fungal network in the ground, they nurture other life around them. But conventional wisdom views the tallest trees as the winners of the resource competition. Interrupting the imagery of domination and conquest, the prophet Ezekiel uses mother tree imagery to show God's promise about how the Hebrew people will thrive after exile. Whether you are in a time of exile or are a tall tree, Ezekiel's words speak to us, too. www.thecommunity-ada.org
