LIFE'S TRAVELS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU!

"Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey." Pat Conroy

TODAY is Tu Bishvat (the Jewish New Year of the Trees) and the symbol of the Torah (the Tree of Life). It symbolizes life, growth and nourishment.
A goal for our lives is to prepare the world for the next generation since planting trees today will not grow and produce fruit until then. We often refer to the generations of our family as Our Family Tree covering many generations. Think of a tree as a person, whose arms and legs are branches bear good deeds, the “produce” of our labor. We can often trace who we are back to their roots and that of our family.

TODAY is also Groundhog Day and many people may think that this is an absurd 1886 tradition of Punxsutawney Phil checking his shadow and predicting how long winter will last before the seasons change. The deeper meaning is that both these holidays celebrate our World and the connection we all have to our environment and our people.

Karen & I are about to embark on an adventure to continue to see our World, meet its mixed multitude of people and learn about and observe our beautiful environment and how it evolves every day. Today begins our 30 day countdown.
