A lot of things that look like a problem today are actually a stepping stone to

successful regeneration tomorrow. For example, let's take a weed. We've got a

weed in the pasture, you know, and it looks unsightly. But it makes a great big

taproot that makes a big core going out into the ground and the bottom line is

that that big taproot makes a big carbon drill and a porous spot for rain to

soak in better in that new channel into the ground that will actually stimulate

the germination of a new whatever clover or succulent plant that doesn't look

like a weed that the cows like better. But it was created by the weed that made a

different environment in the soil, translocated a different set of minerals and

nutrients for the soil to succeed to a different level. I think that's a lot of

what all this is just because there's unsightly weed today. Doesn't mean that's

not part of the trajectory of progress tomorrow.
