Withering

Like a tree beside a brook producing its fruit in due season, its leaves never withering..

Psalm 1:3

So it's past the autumnal equinox, the weather, despite 'global warming' is getting a lot colder, and the leaves of the cherry trees next to the river are turning brown.

The Catholic notes I have for this Psalm say this : Jesus is the green & productive tree, par excellence. All that is good, great, beautiful & holy in the heart of a person blossoms on the tree of the cross.
