divine poetry

I'm still reading Conversations with God Book 3. I often come across something I really would like to share with other people. I actually started posting parts (and other insights, poems, works of art) here: http://syksynsyvyys.blogspot.com/, but you can't start copying a book to a blog.... With this part I'd like to make an exception. It's so beautiful. Truly divine poetry:

"See the flower as dying and you will see the flower sadly. Yet see the flower as part of a whole tree that is changing, and will soon bear fruit, and you see the flower's true beauty. When you understand that the blossoming and the falling away of the flower is a sign that the tree is ready to bear fruit, then you understand life."

"Always remember, you are not the flower, nor are you the fruit. You are the tree. And your roots are deep, embedded in Me. I am the soil from which you have sprung, and both your blossoms and your fruit will return to Me, creating more rich soil. Thus, live begets life, and cannot know death, ever."
