The BAOBAB-tree as a SYMBOL

The Baobab-tree is very significant. As you look at this African-tree it seems his roots stretch to heaven. And because he is the biggest tree of the world he is rooted in the ground soil and seemingly rooted between the stars. Therefore - he is very stable and strong and he gives us a lot of Life-support... nourishment, water and shade, protection etc...
In my view the BAOBAB-tree is rooted in "Earth + Heaven" and I take him as a SYMBOL of the Christian Personality.

The Ev Luke (11.1-4) shows Jesus as "Teacher of praying".
The healthy Christian Prayer has some preconditions, Jesus has taken them as granted:
1.) I accept the Mystery of God as Creator of Heaven + Earth.
2.) I accept: God has poured out his Holy Spirit into the Universe and into all mankind.
3.) I accept: God is incarnated (embodied) in Jesus Christ.
4.) I accept that in Baptism I promised to follow Jesus Christ - it means - I'm ready to
     personify (in-corporate) the Spirit of God for my situation.

After the acceptance of these preconditions I know Jesus has taken over the belief in the
shape of his Jewish people and therefore Jesus was able:
to speak of God as Father (conditioned by culture)
to keep the Name (the appearance) of God as holy
to see the establishment of the Kingdom of God as Life-priority
to see the Bread of Life is given every day (on the way to the fullness of Life)
to see forgiveness as condition of human life in our world situation
to recognise: our faith is quite fragile.

This speaking, keeping, seeing, recognising is the real Christian Prayer. The one with such a behaviour is rooted in Heaven - like the BAOBAB-tree.
Prayer is not to ask something but to see: Life and all is already given - at disposal - to share - and we accept it, we use it, we do it.  Heaven + Earth is a given reality and Christians speak about the ONE, who has given it; they keep God's Mystery holy they see the Kingdom of God, the Bread of Life, the Forgiveness as means for a new Heaven + Earth and they recognise such a View (Vision) is not secured but a risk.
Next - as you see the BAOBAB - he will tell you a story...
