The Blue Ridge rises through the Jefferson National Forest. This weekend our family celebrated Fall by spending several hours walking forest trails, being together in nature, taking time to be old and young, parents and children, grandchildren and cousins together, three generations. Our family grew closer and stronger for the few hours we spent as family in this forest land: a miracle of place. This is public land, national forest. As citizens, we are its trustees. As trustees, what are we accountable for? What is our responsibility? Susan said, "We show our accountability by using the forest lands, by walking the trails. We make the land valuable by spending time in it appreciatively, joyfully." Khalil Gibran said, “And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” Today we were responsible trustees.
