68 – Divine Free-will

Crown of Thorns tree (Ziziphus spina Christi)
Keyword: Choice

A curious tree that reminds us to make thoughtful choices using our precious gift of autonomy. Our lives are ours to shape as we please, yet there exist laws and consequences that guide us towards a path of love and fulfilment. We hold the power to either harm ourselves or surrender our independence to others or addictions, becoming mere puppets. However, at any given moment, we can choose love and truth once more. This botanical encourages us to reflect on our present state and ask ourselves: Do we desire to make
a better choice?
