But that does not preclude the fact that slowly but surely, some good can be growing as other things fall apart. This is not some syrupy sweet silver lining case for optimism. Rather, it is really about a choice all of us will have to make in life, either consciously or unconsciously: will I be a person who is safe and creates good for others?Will I be a person who stands up?

Remember, I say, because memory helps map the possibilities of the future. ![]()

New study shows that urban greenery, including trees, can save lives, especially those of people 65 and older.
