Fr. Amphilochios, the geronta or elder on the island of Patmos when I first stayed there, [said:] Do you know that God gave us one more commandment, which is not recorded in Scripture? It is the commandment love the trees. Whoever does not love trees, so he believed, does not love God. When you plant a tree, he insisted, you plant hope, you plant peace, you plant love, and you will receive Gods blessing. — Taken from an essay by Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware)
