Earth Day

Yesterday was Earth Day.

I went to help run a BBQ sponsored by The Rotary Club of Agincourt for 10000trees.com who plants trees every year. We had hundreds of volunteer tree planters to feed, especially with the pleasantly warm, sunny day. It was up at 9th line and the Markham bypass. On the way there I passed the Markham-Stouffville Hospital.

I always imagine our lives as in Greek mythology where the three sisters spin your life's thread, pull it out and finally cut it off. However, I liken it to how you leave a thread as you travel. The slower you go the larger the mark that you leave. You weave a web of life. Some paths like the route to the hospital grows thick as a rope, as you pass over and over the route. And as you pass over it again the memory of prior visits overwhelms the current one. And it's a cord that will never break.
