“Behold, I have dreamed a dream” (1 Nephi 8:2), Lehi proclaimed to his family. He then described a tree whose bright, white fruit filled his soul with great joy. With the feeling of a tender parent, Lehi entreated his family to partake of the fruit of the tree—the love of God. In this piece, the tree of life feeds on the fountain of living waters. Its gnarly trunk, rooted in the rock of revelation, gives foothold to all who climb to partake of the fruit. Light enlivens the roots, leaves, and fruit. Righteous desire starts us on the path; joy is our reward.
