"The Well of Understanding" is the inspired product of seven years of research and personal experience. This book addresses the urgent question: How can we transform ourselves and our society, and thereby save Planet Earth from imminent catastrophe? This fable, with its message of hope, love, transformation, unity, and peace is accompanied by seven appendices, containing quotations from ten religi

ons, which illustrate universal symbols from the story. These selections enable the reader to perceive the essential unity of world faiths beneath outer differences in creed and ritual.

The survivor tree.

In October 2001, recovery crews at Ground Zero made an unexpected discovery. Buried under the smoldering debris was a badly damaged Callery pear tree that had once stood at the World Trade Center.

The tree had originally been planted there in the 1970s. Its eight-foot trunk had suffered severe damage, with its roots torn apart and many of its branches burned. Despite the destruction, the tree still showed faint signs that it was alive.

The NYC Department of Parks and Recreation carefully moved the tree to the Arthur Ross Nursery in the Bronx. There, arborists began working to save it. For nearly a decade, they cared for the damaged tree and helped it slowly recover.

Their efforts eventually paid off. By December 2010, the tree had grown into a healthy, thriving 30-foot tree. It was then returned to the World Trade Center site, where it found a new place at the 9/11 Memorial.

Today, the tree stands as a living symbol of resilience and recovery. Its trunk still carries visible scars from the damage it suffered, while smooth new branches have grown from its blackened base.

What survived the destruction became a reminder that even after terrible loss, life can continue to grow and begin again.

🌳 Those twisted Utah junipers have an extreme survival trick: during severe drought, a tree can cut off water to some of its own branches, sacrificing them so the rest of the tree survives.
