tree, in its light and shade, one would hope, would long remember us gathering round it. It will be the constant, however subsequent events might so radically alter. Planting a tree is deeply spiritual, affirming its importance and affirming our connection to a profound ancient past when the fertile earth played a more evident central role in our being. Planting reminds us that trees and nature should not be objects of disregard but objects central to our attention, central to our survival. Bette Midler, writing in an earlier issue of HYLAND, asserts their importance in all the small urban gardens which she creates throughout New York City. If you choose to plant a tree, here are some suggestions, purely my own thoughts. Chestnuts evoke an image of grandeur; cherry, happiness and birth; oak, solidity; walnut, sophistication; cedar, fragrant solitude; mahogany, wealth; ebony, beauty and willow, emotion. Our Japanese maple symbolizes the endurance and tenacity of seemingly delicate things. Would that all of us who gathered to give that tree a place at Foxholm remain happy in its light and shade.
