Marriage #102

  
/ 126  
  

102. There appeared to me some trees planted in a wooden trough, one of which was tall, another shorter, and two small ones. The shorter tree pleased me greatly, and at the same time a most agreeable feeling of restfulness which I cannot express came over my mind. The angelic spirits interpreted this vision for me, saying that conjugial love was represented, the restfulness and peace of which was actually felt mentally; the tall tree meant the husband, the shorter one the wife, and the two small ones children. They added that those who belong to the province of the loins are in such an agreeable state of peace.
