“If the branches which have been worn dark and smooth by the cold can bring forth colorful blossoms from within their bodies, do you not think that I can bring forth what is beautiful and good from within your lives?
“Do not despair of winter when springtime always comes. With the spring will come winds that bring the branches down. But those that carry life within them will not be broken by these winds. But these, too, are necessary and useful. That which you call dead and useless is welcomed into my womb where it is transformed and birthed and made beautiful again.
“You must know that what you call evil may not be so for the wind, the grasses, or the ground. In every season branches and even trees must fall. These times are bigger than you think, and deeper than you know. Much is to be done, and many are those things that need correcting before you will be ready to go on.”
