How many people have written poems about trees?
What more can be added to their verses?
I haven’t hugged anyone in months,
so this morning, I hugged a pine tree.

There is a meditation practice called “Tree Meditation.”
You choose “the tree of your soul,” close your eyes, and hug it while listening to the tree speak to you.
“If you’re struggling, come back. I’ll always be here.
Through rainstorms and tempests,
I’ll be waiting here for you.
If you’re struggling, come back.”*
