A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.- D. Elton Trueblood (American Quaker scholar)

My Philosophy
"I am not a Labor Leader; I do not want you to follow me or anyone else; if you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of this capitalist wilderness, you will stay right where you are.
I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I lead you in, some one else would lead you out.
You must use your heads as well as your hands, and get yourself out of your present condition."
- Eugene V. Debs

I have always believed this and so have made a life's project of planting shade trees where ever I lived. I now have a forest of shade trees in my back yard. My challenge now is to find that perfect spot of sun where I can plant a tomato and some herbs.
I have wondered where that thought came from.
A beautiful sentiment. My version is to leave improved soil in rental houses.
Hi Kevin
When outside I ALWAYS sit under shade trees, non of which I planted. Go figure. :-)
Love Gail
peace.....
