Question:“The olive bed”
The olive bed
The bed of Odysseus was built on a living olive tree and could not be moved. What cannot be moved is what makes a home.
Touch with your hand, today, one thing in your life that cannot be moved. An old wall, a parent’s hand, a worn desk. A hand that has touched a root shakes less.
Penelope tested Odysseus by ordering the bed moved, and he told her of the olive root.
