did the tree of life divorce its body seek to save the soul but hate the bark long for freedom from its branches despise the roots that plumb the dark are trees ashamed of needing sunlight feeling guilt for being what they are why does man despise the body are we just afraid of death or maybe we re searching and growing and knowing separating good from bad and maybe we re just tired of hurting afraid of losing what we have did the tree of life divorce its body seek to save the soul but hate the bark what is life without a body what is love without the pain may we keep searching and growing and knowing seeing both the good and bad and maybe we could ease the suffering unattached to what we had a man can learn to love his body without his soul being undone you are spirit soul and body beneath it all all is one
