This may sound like a ridiculous suggestion, but it is not. Most people don’t think of trees as a personal thing, just something to look at. Consider making a tree a part of your life instead. You will be surprised at the difference it makes to your life.
A tree is something that needs care and nurturing. It needs you to be responsible. It teaches us valuable life lessons. A tree does not grow overnight. It teaches us to be patient. It also teaches us to think of the long term, and no doubt our planet and our race is in dire need of long term thinking.
