Let’s take heart; Wherever Maitu is now, she must be astonished at how much she achieved, yet the best is yet to come….so may children want to emulate her, that her eternal life is assured.

There is a hole in the world,
In my heart.
A hurt in my soul,
In my spirit,
A loss given deeply into my being
As if the roots have been torn and dismissed.
Yet,
Through this sense of weeping within,
I shall venture deeper into the desert sands,
To plant and nourish more and more and more trees,
To carry your spirit and everlasting song,
The hope carried on the buds of new leaves,
The young, the old, the ones who yearn for new hope.
There is a hole in the world,
Into which, we must plant a tree of Maathai.
September 26, 2011
