One tree. Every day. For one year. This is an homage. This is a celebration. This is a hope
for raising awareness, and reverence. Symbiotic: to our very roots, and our branches ~
The benefits far outweigh the challenges of when everyday seems like "Groundhog's Day". The simple fact that the Trees Please pendants have been born of this endeavor is a real gift. Today, as I labored over a batch of 40, I smiled knowing that they will eventually turn into 80 trees in the Atlantic Forest, and that folks will have fun oohing and ahhing over their shiny goodness.
Then, there are those wire baby trees sitting on my desk, and the upcoming "how to" class I'm doing to benefit the school.
It's all good, even these days when I feel far too busy to even think about creating another tree.
I'm anticipating some semblance of mental relief when I have less than 100 to go. Soon. Soon.
You and your steady support have made the easy days brighter and the tough days worth hanging in.
Ha ha... nice one! It is all about attrition and trees, but you sure have provided a steady flow of beauty and food for thought along the way.
