The signs of drying up resemble a branch that cannot bend or sway. The limbs of those detached from the world are supple like a fresh branch that bends easily in the weaving of a basket. Many are those whose concepts and fantasies have drained them of the sap of life unable to bend or sway in any direction. My words may be symbolic but they are like fire. Have you seen how quickly dry branches burn? There is no protection from the fire of Spirit. Everything perishes except His Face. Empty yourself of yourself and contemplate the words that spring from the silence of God.
