Forevergreen (2025) is the illustration of kindred beginnings. That the root of growing up is not of the idolized taste of wantings, but the open passage of giving.
This post is about the short film Forevergreen.
No Greater Gift
A Reflection on The Freedom To Become and Be
I have come to see there are many ways we can go. Our very nature possesses all that it must, to wonder and endow its own passage. We have no idea what is to come, though endowed with the capacity to pursue what may be good. Guided in this pursuit we are; all the many of us are but bears pawing at what we find worth growing and the peace we hope to be given.
So we are the same, you and I. The single taste of our own affinities is enough to madden ourselves by that which we long to know. And the heart is hardened, longing for the wastes of life and the aroma far lesser of that sort.
This fire is of our own making, and still in its depths we cling to what seeks for us to die with it. What must it be for our eyes to see the paths to life and not death?
The greatest gift is the light that shines through in the darkness. With such hope planted firmly in the nature of where we may grow. This time, let such things be as they were made to be, and our heart open enough to receive it.
An abiding and blessing that spans lifetimes.
To The Believer
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
~ John 15:13
