CHAPTER

The Tree of Trees

Abraham and sarah were willing to sacrifice the safety and well being of hagar and ishmael, abusing them, to get the blessing on their own terms. The last time the tree of life appears is actually in a story about death. Yeit's all over e these narratives in the bush, bramble o ruemember what happened after god spared the life of ishmael when he was taat in the place of the bush. And so it creates this pattern at work that because humans are so screwed up and they hurt each other so much, it seems like the only way forward now is when god's chosen ones are willing to surrender everything over to god.
