Ez. 17: On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it, in order that it may produce boughs & bear fruit, & become a noble cedar. Under it every kind of bird will live; in the shade of its branches will nest winged creatures of every kind. All the trees of the field shall know that I am the LORD.

A Prayer for the New Year
My God,
Whose fingers trace the constellations,
Whose gaze beholds all,

I marvel at your love for me,
The treasure of your care.

I devote this year to you-
May I see you in all things.
Amen.
