2. One sunny morning, my wife and I piled the kids into the car with a hope that my memory was reliable. We went out looking for my trees.
About 25 years ago, I started working as a tree planter in Northern Ontario. I would have planted veral thousand a day, every day, for weeks and weeks. I worked every summer for six years, which added up to over 500,000 trees. While we were planting, we talked about what our trees would be like when they grew taller. The small trees were no longer
than my thumb. It emed unlikely that our trees would last more than a day or two.
Eventually, I stopped the car and stared at the clear blue sky and treetops softly waving. I walked toward them.蓝胡子
They were so tall and solid, much bigger than I thought they would be. There were so many of them, waving soundlessly in the wind like they were welcoming me. Row upon row of fully grown, healthy pines left me speechless. They spoke of that time of my life, in 1995, when I was strong and young in my mid-20s.
I walked among them, listening to the sound of the wind in their high branches. Humbled and moved, I never had such a strong n of my impact on the world.
I felt a quiet prence and at home among my trees, as if they had been waiting for me. What was unclear and unlikely had grown specific and very real. What I had held in my hands had grown into a towering forest surrounding me.
My kids ran to join me.
“You planted all the?” asked my 10-year-old son, Forest.
“I planted more than this every day. And this is where your name comes from,” I told him.
Together, with my 6-year-old son River, we walked deeper into the woods and spotted a clearing. We emerged suddenly into the open space and I felt even more at home than in the forest I’d planted. It was more familiar, this open space where I had once spent thousands and thousands of hours.
