Today is Arbor Day.Let us plant a NEEM tree!

I am going to celebrate Arbor Day today by planting a NEEM tree.Arbor is a spanish word that means simply:Tree!

Have you ever used NEEM oil to spray the pests in your garden?Have you used NEEM oil to clean your A/C ducts from mold?There are so many benefits from the NEEM tree.

Here is a heads up tip.

Go to the internet and print those two words:Benefits Neem.

Also go and learn more about Arbor Day.We started celebrating it here in USA back in 1792 and so many countries now followed suit.Plant a tree today in celbrating the occasion.Prevent destroying a healthy tree in your garden and follow the tradition of Native Americans by hugging a tree.

Your eyes will pop up.Amazing how much beneffits the Neem Tree has.It is so reverred in India the country of origin.In Europe as well .Here we barely hear about it.

Tommorrow Saturday May 1st ,I will be introducing  the Neem Tree for those who come to attend my Organic Gardening workshop here in S.Florida.I grow it from seeds.It grows well in our sub-tropical climate .I will also show a movie about the Power of Community.

We need to respect all forms of life and understand more about our relationship to each others,the plants,the environment and all the forms of life that share this planet with us,

Unfortunately , I have seen and witnessed so many forms of segregation and separations in my life,You name stereotyping,racial profiling,discremenation and you hit the tip of the ICEBERG.Look to what we are doing tothe different  others here in Arizona,there in Afghanistan and you'll  get a hint of the situation about our aggression.

Community starts with the word commune.To receive communion to nourish the spirit,It transcends with the word communicate with another form of life like a human being or plants,trees,animals and even the earth by collectivelly planting and harvesting together.The four elements of creation  Earth,Air,Fire and Water all weave a web of body,mind,soul and spirit to shape our world both material and spiritual.Community is both a spiritual and material experience that engulfs our being and gives it a meaning if we follow the natural law and NOT if we do not follow it,

When was the last time you shook hands with your neighbor or even remebered to ask him or her about their names?.We live engulfed with our own ego and self image and self interests.Now we suffer the economic crunch alone.Back in the 1930 depression ,there was a refuge in the family to retreat to after losing a job or home.Now barelr we call to say hello -or  to see- our parents!There was the Victory gardenthen  that brought the community together to create food.Now we destroy the community garden for development.We insult and despise those who work with their hands in the farm or garden by many ways.

Look at the wages for farmers or the price for produce that is imposed on the farmer by the merchants!Time is running out on our arrogance and pride and negligence towards the environment and the community.Look what is happening now in the Gulf of Mexico.With our own hands we lay waste to the environment in the name of what?K\Have you ever heard of the word Karma?

Last week we celebrated Earth Day.Next week we will celebrate Mother Day.Today we celebrate the Tree Day...when will we stop rushing and pushing ourselves and pretend that all is fine?Today stop by the garden to smell the roses and plant a tree.Perhaps you will find some time for slowing down and getting grounded withthe energy of Mother Earth.

Love is the gift you give and receive for mother day and every day to celebrate LIFE.

Have a Happy Life,,

Come and attend one of my workshops if you live in S.Florida and I will introduce you to my tree friend named:NEEM!

Thank you for your kind words on my Blog post and after reading your post, I am glad that I inspired you to write this. A little kindness and conscience thinking can go so very far if we just take the time.

Even if livestock is meant for food it doesn't give us the right to disrespect or harm it. Also, if you need to cut down a tree, it only takes a moment to plant another in its place. Most of all, if you disrespect or do harm to another person..what does that say about you in every other aspect of your life? People need to slow down and be more careful about their decisions and actions and get off the "it's all about me" wagon.

Wish I lived closer..I would love to attend one of your workshops.
