Cotton trees

Through time, in the temple of the mind, the tree of wisdom grows, reaching for the light that shows we're all just one of a kind.

The higher a tree rises into the sky, the deeper its roots need to descend into the earth.  The higher we rise in the world, the more down to earth we need to be.
The greater our material success the greater our need for spiritual understanding.
