It awakens a hunger for the vastness of God as well as the immediate presence of God.Matthew has a great gift of taking something as common as a tree and exploding the Scripturebefore our eyes, resulting in an overwhelming renewed love for our Lord.â€• â€”Jo Anne Lyon,general superintendent emerita of the Wesleyan Church â€œSomewhere along the line, toomany people picked up the notion that loving trees was somehow pagan or Druidic.
