My mantra today: "Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.
Second best time is now."
I sense that it may not have any immediate dramatic influence on my day to day choices, but it will seep. It will definitely seep.
And this from someone who planted many many trees around our house 35 years ago. Barren fields are now little forests. And the dying hybrid poplars will have to be taken down. They are huge. Muchos $$ to remove. But too close to power lines and buildings for me, with my limited tree falling skills, to even think about it.
I like the idea in the tree quote about wiping the expectation slate clean and starting afresh with intention. Forget yesterday. Think today. Now.
I will let it seep.
