Thoughts & Feelings about Trees!

1 post in this topic

With all the recent YouTubers getting together to plant 20 million trees, it reminded me of how much the forest has helped me.

When you first leave the car, or city, and enter into the quiet and abandoned forest, stress and anxiety just falls off. 

I have noticed that after several hours in the woods, life becomes much simpler. Like the Trees inhale your problems. Trees inhale my exhale, exhale my inhale.

In Japanese they even have a word for this, "Shirin - Yoku" meaning Forest Bathing. I heard a podcast where a guest said that when you are in the hospital, and you see a tree, instead of another building outside your window, you will heal faster. 

I have however noticed that when I am backpacking alone, and it gets dark, depression and loneliness often fill me. But that leaves in the morning.

 What are some of your thoughts on Trees?

How has the Forest (or Nature) helped or harmed you? 


Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

- Edgar Allen Poe
