Welcome

This morning I went to the Forestry Division to purchase the flamboyant tree which we will plant tomorrow on the mountain. As you can see in the above photo, I ended up getting two. They are only $1.50TT each, but I didn't have to buy them - they were given to me. As George (the man who was assisting me) told me, normally when people come for trees they come for a whole set and they have to go through a lot of red tape before they can actually take them away.

"Too much to go through for two trees."

I got two because I didn't want the Dream Tree to be alone on the mountain. One will be planted with the clay vessel of dreams and its companion will be planted a short way off. I suppose close enough so that when they grow, their branches will reach out and touch, maybe even intertwine and form a canopy. The plan is to position them near the edge of the dam, where the soil is damp, so that even in dry season they will have water. And, as George indicated, they are hardy trees and will survive through all kinds of conditions.

In the days that passed after closing off Now is Wow, I realised that all that I had needed was a shift and change of online scenery. Hence this new blog, which feels a lot more sparse, spacious and lighter.

Making space for the dreams to grow.
