MY TWO CENTS
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now… With Arbor Day* on Friday, April 27th in the United States, this felt like the perfect reminder to plant a tree. It would be a wonderful way to honor Arbor Day and to take the time to give back to the earth as it constantly gives to us. What is your favorite tree and what are you going to plant this Arbor Day?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
It’s said that China has created more proverbs than any other religion or region, though the origins of many have faded with time. They are written by many, such as Confucius and other ancient sages. The difference between a proverb and a quote is that any person can be quoted by what they say, whereas a proverb is a metaphor or a wise truth written in a cryptic way. Proverbs often give me much to ponder.

*Arbor Day is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant trees.
