Planting Oak Trees I heard someone once say that you don’t plant an oak tree for yourself. It’s a tree that you plant for future generations. I also read somewhere that it’s a tree that loves the number three. It has three eras of existence: -Three
hundred years to grow to maturity As I look back on my younger life, all I ever did was plant trees for myself: for my shade and pleasure alone. Now, in my middle age, I am determined to plant trees for others who will come long after me. I am living for my son and his children. What I do now, I do for others who I may never even meet. Just as my body and mind will begin to move more slowly, I intend to make decisions with a slow wisdom. Slow growth is good growth. I don’t need to be in a hurry any more. -Gary
