It was high up in the coconut tree that I found my place in Hawai'i. Sometimes swinging in the breeze, others high and peaceful, seeing the jungle all around. Perhaps the best definition of "abundance", the coconut tree is perhaps the most useful tree in the world.

Strangely enough, the coconut tree is actually a grass. It provides water and food, both of which can sustain one for quite a while. The palms can be woven in to anything from a hat to a wall. The trunk is used to make drums.

Where the cocnut grows is a place that can be free from the system for the strength it takes top harvest and utilize the gifts the coconut tree provides is the same strenght it takes to be indipendent.
