Faith in the Future, Out of the Now

The most optimistic act a person can do is to see in generations, believing that the best is yet to come. To believe that it is worth not living your promise in full now -- as painful as that might be -- if it means you can use what was denied at present to invest in and shape a better future and help in what's to come next. To believe that good trees, with deep roots, that bear fruits abundantly for a long time, take time to grow. And to know that the most natural thing for a native tree is to take root and grow in its homeland.
