Excerpt from:
The Heron Dance Book of Love and Gratitude
Quote of Balbir Matbur, founder of Trees for Life
The boat I travel in is called Surrender. My two oars are instant forgiveness and gratitude - complete gratitude for the gift of life. I am thankful for the experience of this life, for the opportunity to dance. I get angry, I get mad, but as soon as I remind myself to put my oars in the water, I forgive.
I serve. I do the dance I must. I plant trees, but I am not the doer of this work. I am the facilitator, the instrument - I am one part of the symphony. I know there is an overall scheme to this symphony that I cannot understand. In some way, we are each playing our own part. It is not for me to judge or criticize the life or work of another. All I know is that this is my dance. I would plant trees today even if I knew for certain that the world would end tomorrow.
~Balbir Matbur, founder of Trees for Life
