The Tree And Me

I had contacted a friend about finding an agency that would take over and assist the tree’s plight for me.

I did not follow through on this line of inquiry once I received a name and number, nor did I attempt to publicize the issue such as with the brief article I had written.

I just finally figured that the elements associated were complicated enough, and that I had already established myself as the dedicated “midnight run” water advocate.

I did not want to cause a public scene – nor risk being barred from the site by becoming considered as an “agitator.”

The tree was technically on “public domain,” so the best way to retain capability to help it was to continue my role as a “good citizen.”

The tree’s task is to survive independently, and so I dedicated myself to helping it be able to restabilize its damaged root system through the wilting heat of summer, giving it some positive reinforcement to hold on for reaching the ease of fall and the energetic release of being able to go dormant in winter.

I went through the process of thinking through to the best course of action, where many people would have simply walked away from the issue from not initially knowing what they could do.

The tree and I found an agreement that we could both commit to.
