metaphor for life

I am like a tree, rooted in great furtile soil...the life forces within the 
great lite and love and my staying always grounded in my heart allow for the 
trunk  of the to grow ever so fast waterring with the waters of everlasting 
life,

So an ax slices into the bark every now and then, fast enough it has grown to a 
place that sprouts branches and bears good fruit
