Getting young people connected!

-

 Phantom planted this memorial cherry tree a couple of weeks ago for a young lad that lost his mum so young, so sad this, I thought I was young when I lost my wee mum at 33, here for you anytime man if your reading this, you know where I am...


Have heard he's been down watering the tree all the time in this heat and adding other little loving memorial things to the tree.

He sent me a message saying there are ants around my mums tree carrying white things, what can I do?

I said ants are ok for the trees and not to worry..


This past couple of weeks I've phantom planted trees with many young people, people who aren't even into nature and trees and the feedback I've been getting from them is just unreal for me about how much of a good time they had!


My young training partner brought his friends along and he said that they were saying that I dont seem like your average tree planter and my mate said be under no illusion this guy may be a tree hugger but he'll knock you out at the same time too!


I couldn't stop laughing at this,


This is what its all about for me though, to get people connected to nature who would never have otherwise, especially younger people, my dream and vision is that everyone in the world phantom plants a tree atleast once in their lives!


We are all missing this connection to mother nature, running around there with our heads up our backsides popping pills, puffing our brains out, excess drinking, drug taking and all the rest of the soul poisons that are normalised and glorified in our society!


Not to mention the foods and fizzy drinks, some of them if you gave to your dog you'd get sectioned


All so sad but true....


We all need to get back in touch with nature and the best way for me to connect to this is to become a phantom planter, planting trees healed all societies negative effects that it had on me!

I can honestly say if I had of carried on partaking in the ratrace I would be dead by now!


I like feeling good within, not how I look to others or how I'm perceived, for me its all about how I feel within, inner peace and contentment is pure bliss, something I never felt wanting to be king rat on the monopoly board!


The toys and tinsel, the statuses and titles we all chase,  its all a bit of a farce really.....

I challenge you to phantom plant a tree! Anywhere, anytime, any place.....

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
