This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Thoughts On Plants And Purpose

Jonathan is 15

When people walk into my room, they may notice many plants around. People often find this interesting and some find it strange. But I usually don't notice plants that way.

Someone may ask me "Why are you so interested in plants?" and my reply would be "Why do I live?"

To me, helping plants to grow is not any different than eating, or sleeping.

It's something that I do. I see such beauty and resilience in the plants, traits that I think we all could learn a lot from.

What is the purpose we are on this earth? - That is life's ultimate question. A question which individuals usually find the answer to within and for themselves. However, the reason we are enabled to live on this planet is plants. They provide us with food and the air we breathe as well as the life that is always around us.

Since they do so much for us, we should give something back, and so I help them to grow. Interesting... maybe, strange...no. It's just part of my life.
