Dryad

The Tree of Life at the center of the world is the golden-chain lobelia in my back yard - as is the tree in your yard.

Adore the dryad of this particular tree. All Gods are clustered inside her, as ripe seeds in the core of the pomegranate.

Some will yet insist, "There is only one way, and God is above you." They do not know that a berry is holy, an egg echoes with stars, a galaxy swirls in the hologram of a snail. My heart windows your heart. All hearts open to an inner sky.
