Michael Meade in Men and the Water of Life writes: "Children love to climb trees . . . They can get away from what weighs them down . . . Part of the tree is for talking with God . . . Part of the tree means being held by nature in ways that one's family cannot hold." Perch in a tree and talk to God (or relive a childhood memory of doing so).
