In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks about branches bearing fruit or not.
As a branch, he says that we can only bear fruit if we remain in him, if we listen to His word.
In the book I have just finished reading, "Thinking in Bets", the author compares our past to the trunk of a tree.
The branches are possible futures. The bigger the branch, the more likely for a possible future to happen.
The spot where the trunk and the branches meet is our present.
In a way, it's important to remain "in the trunk", to know yourself and be honest about it.
This might be the only way for a branch to bear fruit, and for a possible future to happen.
