I come from and live in the beautiful Crete island, in Greece.

Olive Trees are vital for our island's economy and we value, cherish them. They have been giving us the liquid gold, or olive oil so they mean a lot to us.

In the old times, whenever a child was born, people used to plant an olive tree for them.

I plan to write more about Olive Trees in the future, but till then .. I am leaving you with one of my favorite abstracts from Odysseas Elytis

If Greece is destroyed completely, an olive tree, a vine and a boat will remain. That is enough to rebuild her from the beginning.

I send my best wishes to anyone who might be struggling these days
