There's a field by my office where some of the last big trees in "Broken Arrow, OK" live. Tulsa's a big town as far as Oklahoma's concerned, but it's still small enough to not feel like you're actually in a big town. I wonder sometimes, if they know what they're doing? Did you ever see something not only stand , but reach up towards the sky as far as it could...tiptoes and everthing? Just a little more...a little more...
That's kind of a crazy statement when you think about it. (If I could reach the sky?) Can't we? Where does the sky start? If we were bugs looking up at humans, we'd be pretty saticfied to say that they touch the sky...or at least hang out there. If a bird fly's (no matter how close to the ground...) as long as he doesn't touch it, he's in the sky right?!
I suppose our feet touch the ground, but everything else (our hearts, hands, head, etc...) operate already touching a vastness that goes on forever. You know it's funny.... Even when I fall, some part of me is still touching the sky. Maybe that's why God made us the way he did? If the sky was the hand of God and the ground was the foundation of his love...(huh...) with that perspective, faith doesn't seem all that hard anymore.
