- "And there is a tree that holds onto the earth with it’s roots
As if with despairing fingers, so the earth won’t sink down,
And beside it a tree pulled down by the same earth,
And both are one height; you can’t tell the difference.
Yehuda Amichai
Translated, from the Hebrew, by Chana Bloch
To be saved is to have Faith and to have Faith means to recognize something as the Necessary. Whether or not the faith of an individual is misplaced does not matter; indeed, in an absolute sense, it always is.
