<\/p>\n
Future generations go even further than<\/p>\n
The children I birthed, and focus much hope and care upon<\/p>\n
Further in distance than Iowa, or Eastern Pennsylvania, or Kentucky, or Southern Ohio.<\/p>\n
Further in time than the first great grandchild, due later this year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Future Generations will benefit from the care and examples we set<\/p>\n
Being helpful, being interested, being proud of the land we own and cultivate.<\/p>\n
The time we spend on making a difference<\/p>\n
Is an investment in the future further than we can see.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Future generations will benefit from our collective foresight<\/p>\n
Collective is more than just you and I, so we reach beyond ourselves<\/p>\n
Gathering information from those who understand more than we learned<\/p>\n
And adding my passionate, sometimes persuasive invitation to all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Future generations will benefit from our collective foresight today.<\/p>\n
Yes, today.\u00a0\u00a0 Do not take a day off from gathering and sharing<\/p>\n
Information, ideas, anecdotal stories, academic studies, time and tools<\/p>\n
Native planting will feed bees that will pollinate the future.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stewarding is a responsibility to care about the legacy<\/p>\n
We leave behind.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Let\u2019s set the foundation<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s care for God\u2019s green earth, keep it vibrant with life.<\/p>\n
Future generations will benefit from our collective foresight today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
