BLESSING OF A TREE

Published September 16, 2010 by Leelja Baur-Davidson


Paulo Coelho writes in his latest blog

“A man was travelling through the desert, hungry, thirsty, and tired, when he came upon a tree bearing luscious fruit and affording plenty of shade, underneath which ran a spring of water. He ate of the fruit, drank of the water, and rested beneath the shade.

When he was about to leave he turned to the tree and said:
‘Tree, oh, tree, with what should I bless you?

“Should I bless you that your fruit be sweet? Your fruit is already sweet.

“Should I bless you that your shade be plentiful? Your shade is plentiful. That a spring of water should run beneath you? A spring of water runs beneath you.”

“There is one thing with which I can bless you: May it be God’s will that all the trees planted from your seed should be like you…”"

Isn’t it a beautiful blessing? What do you think?

    Hi Leelja,

    Great post! This is what I like about Paulo Coehlo’s writings. The wordplay is great, sensitive and very deep. All great things will start from a simple good thing or deed. This is something everyone should keep in mind. Thanks for sharing.
