Love & Connections

A big tree grows with a big root system. The roots go deep and wide and support a strong, thick trunk which supports a great big canopy which grows rich leaves and sometimes fruit. Animals, insects and creatures including people take shelter and food under the shadowy boughs. The wind blows and the tree bends and some of the fruit and leaves fall and replenish the ground and the needs of the animals and insects. Conversely a small tree fails to do these things. Root systems can be genetic or they can be about the determination of the plant to force its way through and to create a organism that will live for centuries. Great families are like great oaks, they reach far and wide and have a determination to live and to force their way into the ground in order to support a large canopy that creates shade for a wonderful variety of animals, creatures and people. Dynasties are extraordinary. We are new, we are not an old family yet now i have an urge to create a fund for our family and our family to come to feed from, to help them to navigate the world through education, through financial support. The few people i know that are from old families have a sense of eternal life. In my work i am also connected to some beautiful people, people i believe in, not for what they can offer me, but for their talents and spirit in the world. We all need friends, we all need helping hands, we all need time and space to become something extra ordinary. If i am lucky enough to work with, and for, amazing people then i may be lucky enough to do extraordinary work, not for the pay, although essential, but for my self. Emerson said 'if we meet we are related.' I am in love with life, and at the moment, given the pain that some are experiencing, i am grateful for that feeling, very grateful, thank you.
