Greetings Andrew, et al!

After reading this thread last night, I went outside and was admiring my trees in my yard and thought about the metaphor of "Growing" and how in nature, lots of Growth and Abundance occurs before we can see ANYTHING above the ground.

Just because we don't SEE anything, we don't dig up and stop nurturing our "failing tree" because it is NOT failing, it is simply going through the PROCESS of becoming a tree, roots first.

I remember as a child in Science class we grew Sunflowers, mostly because of their rapid growth in the small styfofoam cups that lined the window sills of our classroom with our names emblazoned on the side. The only thing is those speedy growers did not withstand pressure very well.

Growing is a process, a continual result of contineous action, as Gordon so eloquently illustrated in his post. As far as moneymaking goes, Andrew and EVERYONE, I read the growth of a tree to mean that the flourishing comes in time, not overnight. And I only have to look out at my beloved baby palm tree in my back yard (now an adolescent palm tree! lanky like a teen!) to remember that a habit of pruning, trimming, and taking away "deadwood" works wonders for the overall picture.

Contemplative in California,
