The Theology of Redwoods


I don't think I could ever leave California with the Pacific Coastline, Big Sur, the Sierras, the Redwoods. The Redwoods are such a spiritually renewing experience for me. The massive size, the thousands years of existence, the contrasting reds and greens, the scent... oh the aromatherapy of a Redwood forest!

I don't pretend to understand the mysteries of God and the Universe, but in the Redwoods there is this sense of "deep calling unto deep" that supercedes man's best attempts at theology.


“I didn't need to understand the hypostatic unity of the Trinity; I just needed to turn my life over to whoever came up with redwood trees.” 

~ Anne Lamott


Peace, Love and Light!
