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 

Buna Seara Anamaria,

   I Love your Article. I was born and lived a good part of my life in SW Kansas. That's the part where there are NO trees to speak of. They were cut down so farmers could plant more, guess trees were in the way. Little did the Farmer know jut how much those trees had been there for him! Every now and then there would be an ad in the daily newspaper " Lost - 240 acres last seen blowing across Hwy 54 into Oklahoma" Although the Farmer placed that ad as a joke. It was true. My house in the country was sand blasted from the constant winds and the fields that were now sand from lack of "putting back" what was taken from the soil.

  Thank You Anamaria - Your Heart states the Obvious for those who care.

Blessings

Valerie Clavin

Hugs = Priceless

Hey Sam,  Awesome Article and great reviews!  Thanks!

AnaMaria, you are a true "tree hugger" and with very good cause. 

If folks would think about what job trees truly hold in our eco-system they would be more like you. 

Hug Your Tree!!! 

Cut down on paper use, clear cutting is stupid, what you have so politely stated in your article should awaken a few folks,.  Thanks Ana.
