Planting and Tending the Tree of Life

We are both the fertile soil for Torah, but also the gardeners who can plant and sow the land. Planting is a Godly act, and it is one that models the fostering of new life. Every time we plant a tree or sow a seed, we spur a sprouting of new life. When Torah is planted within us, we also blossom and grow, yearning toward an eternal life of full fruitfulness—but only if we tend it.
