A small tree grew in the forest. The more it grew and the stronger it became, the more it admired the expanse of infinity that was the sky above its branches. The tree wanted to live forever, to free itself from the bonds of earth and travel far ... very far away.One day the keeper of the forest walked by the tree. Being a good and sensitive man, he sensed that the tree was unhappy. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Is something troubling you?" The tree hesitated for a moment, then replied, "More than anything, I want to live forever!""I think I can help you," the keeper said. "But you'll have to trust me because what I must do first is cut you down. I know it sounds strange, and yet it is the only solution. I promise that if you let me cut you down, you will live forever."The tree thought long and hard and finally accepted the keeper's proposition. When the saw began its work the tree suffered in silence, and then fell to the ground

with a great crash of breaking branches. Its trunk was sectioned off and the sections cut into planks, and the planks planed into finer planks untill all that remained of the tree was the best part - "its heart". That last beautiful piece of wood was given to famous violin maker, who picked up the piece of wood, held it gently in his hands, caressing its surface and said, "the sound you will produce will be like magic to people's ears."He worked day and night, fashioning the heart of the tree into a wonderful violin, one of the best ever produced. This he gave to a gifted musician, who immediately began to play. As the strings vibrated under the master's touch, the wooden body of the violin resonated in pure harmony. The notes reminded the tree of the vision of infinity, which had filled its spirit for so many years. And the tree understood, in its soul was pure sound, pure music ... the music of eternity.Like the tree, we all have a desire to come close to

the eternal. And we all can endow our acts and our works with the mark of infinity.
