Evergreen: The Autobiography of a Mystic (Unabridged‪)‬

In botany, an evergreen is a plant that has its leaves in every season - spring, summer, fall, and winter. Most deciduous trees shed their leaves to compensate for harsh conditions in the fall and winter, but an evergreen is ever living, ever blooming, no matter the circumstance. Evergreen - that's what the mystic is called to be. Through trouble, suffering, pain, and all manner of evil, we must produce fruit for the Lord. Every moment, everything grievous or joyous, every manner of living is to be fruitful in the life of a mystic. Our lives are meant to be evergreen.
