plant a seed, teach the people

 never saw this quote.............with all the world in some kind of jeopardy, my mind first goes toward the global warming and then snaps back to the political..........the idea of planting trees, which was the key revolution for Kenya and the peace that people like Wangari Matthai brought to her country through a green, planting trees, civil action - seems mild and maybe not enough. But somewhere along the line of my life i remember reading a great poem that ended each new thought with 'that's enough' - or maybe I made that one up in my head. the idea was simple. that with each thoughtful, communal action, know that it was enough. it was what you could do then and there.  or maybe it was about blessings? that each good thing was enough to fulfill your life?  maybe that was it.  what is enough in terms of our personal wish to help with so many places, people and programs needing that support?  I don't know. But i never saw this quote and i really like the hope that's implied in our ability to create positive change - immediate and long term
