Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”

Let’s flesh this out a bit with our tree example. Recall the tree’s nature is distinct from its act of being, and thus for every moment it exists it depends on the causal activity of a Cause 1. But, as mentioned above, Cause 1 doesn’t have existence by nature either and can cause the tree’s act of being only inasmuch as Cause 2 is causing Cause 1 to exist—which means the tree really derives its act of being from Cause 2 through the instrumental causality of Cause 1. This wonderful picture book explores themes of empathy, mindfulness and personal growth through the eyes of a child.Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree. The uncaused cause must also be personal. As pure infinite being, it must have all actuality and perfections. But intelligence and will are perfections. Therefore, the First Cause must have both intelligence and will.

The word of the LORD came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”“I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what see you? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. But obviously there was a time when the tree didn’t have existence, and there will be a time in the future when the tree will no longer exist. Avoid buying a Christmas tree ready-wrapped, as the netting won't give you a clear idea of the exact size and shape of the tree, and may leave you with bent branches. Later the LORD asked me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I answered, "I see a branch of an almond tree."

Growing real Christmas trees provides jobs in rural areas, where employment can be hard to come by. I was particularly pleased to see the last two spreads that explain simply how trees communicate with other trees in the area, and also the final spread that encourages the reader to become more like a tree – by taking your time, and self-care amongst a whole list of other vital activities. I can see this being a favourite – either just to enjoy the glorious pictures or to use the book as the basis for discussions on how readers could be more like a tree – a wonderful mildly philosophical exercise! Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

Again the LORD spoke his word to me and asked, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I answered, "I see a branch of an almond tree." Similarly, if there were an infinite series of existential caused causes, where every cause’s nature is distinct from its existence, and thus every cause would have to derive and continue to derive its existence from an outside cause, then no cause would exist outside the series of causes that have derived existence. In other words, no uncaused cause would exist. And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. This wonderful picture book explores themes of empathy, mindfulness and personal growth through the eyes of a child. Beautifully written and illustrated by the award-winning artist Emma Carlisle, What Do You See When You Look At a Tree? urges readers to reconnect with nature by asking questions that encourage critical thinking and reflection on their own development, as well as helping to establish a deeper appreciation for the environment and their place within it. Stunning watercolour and hand-finished artwork draw s parallels to the bestselling The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, and evokes the classic nostalgia of E. H. Shephard's much-loved Winnie-the-Pooh.Ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe. But adding an infinite number of instrumental existential causes doesn’t solve the problem. If a series of two instrumental existential causes can’t cause the tree to exist, then an infinite number of instrumental existential causes would not be able to do so either. This is no more possible than a caboose receiving motion from an infinite series of interlinked train cars without an engine car. Decisions, decisions, decisions
