If olive trees could speak, what would they tell us?

Would they recount the glories witnessed in this hallowed place?

  Would they tell of the horrors that transpired long ago in the name of many things?

Would they recall the small human lives that lived for generations in pastoral dignity?

  Would they give evidence of the suffering and abuse inflicted by mechanical monsters and ill-inspired men?

Would they share the love they have received from the once young and now old who tended them?

  Would they boast of the healing, the wealth and the comfort they bring?

Would they complain of the loneliness of the field and the neglect of the world?

  Would they speak of the hope and courage that lives in the earth and endures in the souls of their children?

The olive trees speak all this and more to people who are ready to hear.
