Hug a Tree

Hug a tree.. Because you see.. A tree will thank you.. As you live.. A tree will give.. You oxygen and quite a shade.. On a hot summers day.. Walking along the bay Feeling you stepped out of a sauna Scorching hot sun beating down on you.. Wearing your sunglasses.. Lens with a hue.. Running for cover away from the heat.. In a heartbeat you.. Found a chair and took a seat.. Under an old oak tree .. To stay cool from the heat.. A sigh of relief .. As a balmy breeze blows.. The old oak tree knows.. You shall thank it.. You gave your thanks.. For the shade under the old oak tree A sigh of relief as you sip a cool aperitif.. A two way street it is.. Between you and the tree.. Graciousness on both ends.. You shall send affection.. When you a hug a tree.. Because you see a tree will thank you..

Next time you hug a tree, put your ear close to the bark and listen. They do thank you. Wonderful tribute to trees Robertina. Blessings, Susan

There is a feeling that overcomes me when I hug my tree, that I get from nowhere else in the world. Yes, please do hug a tree!

No greater way to receive energy of the truest kind then to hug a tree. I have done that more then once in my life. I think I'm due for another great hug. Thanks for the reminder Robertina.
