Theologians say that your image of God defines your spirituality. Nothing could be more true. (Given all the theologies of a vengeful, distant, and disembodied God, this correlation is probably bad news for the planet.) The spirituality of an oak tree is grounded, stable, and nurturing; it radiates strength. An oak is not in a space; it defines a space, owns it. If I had any idea of eternity, it was that oak tree at the Tappans’ house.
