From my favorite book

"I am no better than the old lightning-struck chestnut-tree in Thornfield orchard," he remarked ere long. "And what right would that ruin have to bid a budding woodbine cover its decay with freshness?"
"You are no ruin, sir -- no lightning-struck tree: you are green and vigorous. Plants will grow about your roots, whether you ask them or not, because they take delight in your bountiful shadow; and as they grow they will lean towards you, and wind round you, because your strength offers them so safe a prop."

{{{ There was this old tree just outside the balcony with a young creeper climbing and growing on its support. I wanted to take a photo, but couldn't as some unromantic realistic guy cut it down. So I tried to draw a picture. }}}


Guess the book ???

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)    (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.)
