Trees companions of men

Abstract

The durability of the tree, its strength, properties and diversity of gifts, one, the acacia, the gum arabic, which gives consistency and integrity to artifacts, that prepares the body for immortality, and allows the soul to save its navigation, which marks the possible proximity of eternity and man’s alliance with it, and of another tree, the olive tree, its ability to feed, to illuminate, to materialize rebirth and recognition – has made them two companions of man. They allow him to overcome shipwrecks and existential wanderings, because in the trees and by means of the trees an alliance with the sacred is consummated and made effective. The tree thus provides a new or renewed life.
