From pilgrimage; make room for the Olive Trees

These are just my thoughts - I’ve not seen any authorized description of it, if it is real.  

When on pilgrimage at Bahji and other places I saw a pattern of how Olive trees are used. So much of the design of things comes from the choices of the Guardian…. Olive trees often seem to represent Manifestations - there are certainly mentions of the idea. Themselves they are very unruly trees - rough bark, angly branches with knobs and twists - and copious in dropping their fruit. In some cases they are amidst other trees like in the case of Bahji where there are two patterns of trees. See  http://www.latitudeimage.com/media/e9165fae-06bc-11e2-8123-7383133f85ed-mansion-of-bahji-and-bahai-shrine-acre The Olive trees are basically round and the Cypress trees are thin and tall. You can see the two patterns. Here’s one showing a line up of Olive trees - http://creationwiki.org/pool/images/d/db/Olive_trees_at_Bahji.jpg  

If you walk the paths you will see these elegant, regal, balanced, Cypress trees framing the white or red graveled walk ways like an honor guard. But then the path comes to an Olive tree - rough, unbalanced, unkempt, olives perhaps littering the ground, demanding attention in the middle of the path. You have to stop and move around it and the path also bumps around it and the Cypress trees with the path, making way for the Olive tree. It seemed a lot of metaphors for the situation of the Manifestations in history to me.  

And the patterns of trees cross - like in foreordained ways you follow the paths of in man’s world and sooner or later but at non-random places and times you are going to come across an Olive tree.  

This picture shows one case of an Olive tree amidst the Cypress - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJ1y0hMEc3TlcpISlSMjL-bBCVYpxQTczbwzZaIgBQpm-7VWnHtVQwe1ey_g50Mt2l-BbhjqyUwiJpZtpKEUU4guDlRyodzrb6Xb8g91jjwKN2iuvbNX3O1YuaMkY-rAglKO6/s1600/3.jpg it is from some years ago and the Cypress trees are young/small.  

I should say there are also other patterns and kinds of trees - the ones closest to Bahji and the one's on the farthest circle around are another I don't know the name of - white bark in sheets. Not Birch exactly - far taller than Birch trees….  

All “said” in a way that is silent and meaningful...
