Hi Sam, how is it a year since we met at Happy Fest? I recently wrote a poem called 'Mutual' about my experience with a tree, I hope it resonates as the tree resonated with me that day... https://substack.com/@wordsbyawensley/note/c-303094790?r=3hi9bl

I’m such a tree hugger these days šŸ˜‚

Love this so much! Can I suggest an addition to your instructions? I would recommend feeling the utter stability of the tree as you hug it. Let it reassure your body and soul. =)

Now I’m going around hugging everything! It’s a pretty cool thing to do and helps me BE with it. Maybe I’ll do it in public and start a trend… you know, how people often copy things. Look up and everyone around you looks up. …. Actually, this immediately reminded me of ā€œThe 59th Street Songā€ by Simon & Garfunkle. ā€œHELLO LAMPOST, what ya knowinā€™ā€¦ā€ ~~~

I remember this conversation Sam! Hugging a tree may seem silly or awkward at first, but I find it one the most wonderful ways to get grounded, soul fillingly centered and be completely in the moment, affordably so! Hugs to you, Kasey
