“People don’t remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.”
—Yoko Ono
Dear Reader:
There once was a tree. I remember it well…a large oak, in the center of a parking lot, that regularly shaded my car. Unfortunately, the beautiful oak reached the end of its life a few months ago. I remember the day; the entire property looked different without its grand presence.
The tree is once again part of the landscape in the form of a bench. I’ll remember a particular tree every time I pass by or stop to rest on a particular bench.
