One of the most poignant stories to provide and answer to the oft asked question, “What can one person do?”, when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds agains them, is the story of Elzeard Bouffier. The story is called, “The Man Who Planted Trees“.
It is a story about the efforts of one man, who set out to restore a destroyed forest that he loved so well before the destruction of World War 1 France.
The trials and difficulties. The shear joy of the challenge. The tenacity to keep going. The vision of what could be, overcoming the odds and despair of the moment. So many lessons we can all learn from.
Read this amazing story. Enjoy it. Meditate on it. Mull it around as you go through each day, encountering your own personal difficulties – and bearing those of others you know well or at a glancing blow.
Then determine to reach down, deep within your own Kukakuka'la and do what you can to be as an Elzeard Bouffier in the lives of others.
Best success and may YOUR Oaks grow mighty and strong in the replenishment of your landscape.
