Hi Sam,
What a surprise to see my partner and friend Anamaria as the author of this months Article Of Virtue. You sure know how to pick em. Keep it coming my friend.
Dimitra, you wrote a great introduction and got to the essence of the article. Great job.
Gunther, seems like I see you everywhere nowadays. Your review was very interesting. I can see your point about the poetry cos the article really touches your soul. You feel that the article gave you a taste for a bit more and I agree with you but there is a lot left to our imagination too and our own understanding.
Hey Anamaria, I knew you were my smiling and tree hugging friend but I didn't realize that it is a passion with you. You are so right. The trees give us so much and we aren't appreciative enough of all the benefits we enjoy from them. Beauty, shade, air, compost (from their leaves) and the list goes on. That's true of nature in general and the trees are a part of all that we are misusing.
I can appreciate you sadness when the tree was cut down but the roots are still there. With tender loving care and nurturing who knows it might grow into it previous grandeur.
Great article mu friend.
Shalom,
Peter
