An Apple Tree.

Hey dudes...
I had a great time today, we had a nice closing to a chapter.
Think about this,
If life has no intrinsic value in it whatsoever, what would you do with your days anyway?
I remember Dr Martin Luther King Jr's words when a journalist asked him, "if he was to die today, what would he do?"
His answer:
I would still plant my apple tree.
This remark has left a tremendous impression to my life, "to still plant my apple tree", for me is to keep on doing what i love, which is to make a difference to all around me, to have people explore themselves and to bring about compassion to others.
We have started the work on the apple tree; and for three months, we have started digging the hole(ourselves) to plant that seed. We got tools that worked, and we got tools that didn't but that wasn't the mechanism that eventually dug the hole. It was commitment and love for the cause.
So with that said, and with the seed in the ground.... now what?
We can leave and have nature takes it's cause, or we can start nurturing it with plenty of resources like energy, love and discipline to have it be grow and fruit. But this stage requires more from us, not necessarily time and sacrifice, but a step up from the old, to call forth our inner strength, and for us to finally and truly support each other.
The goal is not to end poverty, nor to save humanity from global warming - but to live fully, to live justly and to love in a way that transforms all we touch, all whom we come in contact with. So i request YOU be the example, i request YOU take charge, i request YOU be the one to plant this tree...
With love,
