Every Branch Was a Question

 

He was happy because he had no questions to ask. But one day a question came to his mind:

He asked God the meaning of life.

But God answered his question with the same question and said, "Take your question and plant it in your heart and don’t forget this is the kind of seed that needs water and light."

Then he planted his question and watered it and gave it light. His question germinated, bloomed and rooted down. It had a stem, branches and leaves. Every stem, branch and leaf became another question.

Then he, who once had only one question, became a tree with many questions hanging off his leaves, and every new leaf was a new pain and every time the roots deepened, so did he pain.

The angels became afraid of all these strong rooted questions.

But God said, "Do not be afraid. His tree will produce fruits soon and its harvest will be wisdom."

Seasons passed and his tree came to fruition. Many people came and picked the answers from his branches. But in the heart of each fruit was yet another seed, and every seed was the beginning of another tree.

And whoever took a fruit with him, planted another seed full of questions in his heart.
