“When we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is.
That is home, that is happiness…”
-Herman Hesse
Maria may mention it to you — I just left the link for this article in a note to her as well. I thought of both of you instantly when I read it. I’m blessed at my senior apartment building to have about an acre of grass and trees, some old ones too, where I walk my little dog four times a day and have been getting tree therapy almost every day! https://www.icelandreview.com/nature-travel/forest-service-recommends-hugging-trees-while-you-cant-hug-others/?fbclid=IwAR1AxGt-fK_91gGeq0LkKWxk_NtgenPi45RI7Yxy5cH8khsUB-8yfdS45T0
Thank you, as always, for everything you share and all that you do for others.
Hey Ruth, a fellow tree hugger! Beautiful and thanks..
