Hope for a Tree cut Down

Was having a wee surfing session and led me onto this link - a church in Washington State called the Church of the Beloved. There's a verse in Job 14.7-8 which says


For a tree there is always hope.
Chop it down and it still has a chance—
its roots can put out fresh sprouts.
Even if its roots are old and gnarled,
its stump long dormant,
At the first whiff of water it comes to life,
buds and grows like a sapling.

Anyway there is a free CD to download of their music and it's quite lovely so thought I'd share.

"That is what we are discovering together at Church of the Beloved - a hope. Hope that something new is beginning that has very old roots. Hope that God is growing life out of our devastation, trust out of our cynicism, love out of our fear, community out of our isolation.... "
Wow! Like it. Need to be living with an increased sense of that hope.
