"It’s not reaching the destination that is the most important. It’s enjoying the journey where I derive the most pleasure…"

I tell myself that while I spend 3 or 4 days repotting, root pruning and mixing 500 lbs of soil every other year

. As I choke on the dust, mutilate my fingers mixing crushed granite, clean two dozen pots, try to position a 25 lb tree in 75 lbs of soil without breaking all those little twigs, then pop 4 or 5 Advil for my back, I chant "it's the journey that's important, It's the journey... It's the $%@^ journey
