The Useless Tree

Now and again, we meet a truly extraordinary person. Someone of whom we really learn something priceless, who adds value, love, and remarkable insights to our life.

A person who gives our life a decisive turn, who changes our life’s direction and the way we view the world around us. Not only for what they say, but also for how they say things. And maybe even more important — for how they are.

This little eBook is about Jakobus ‘Jacob’ Tetzler’s life and insights — about Jackie — my dear friend and teacher. It’s a short chronicle about the time spent with this utterly “useless” guy.

As Jackie liked to put it: “I don’t have any plans. But I like to be with people, to hear their stories, and to tell them mine. I like people and I like stories.”
