Don't Pass Up An Opportunity To Hug a Tree

It's very rare that it ever happens.Once, years ago, I had just finished a particularly passionate embrace of a Russian Olive tree--and you've got to be careful with those trees as they have thorns--and I turned around from the tree to see an elderly woman and her little dog. They were just standing there looking at me as though I had just escaped the nut house. Nowadays I'm usually not afraid to hug a tree in public. I'm not sure about doing it in front of a large crowd, though.

@MKAlubs funny

@MKAlubs that sounds weird. I wonder what our neighbors say when they see me hugging my mango and pomelo trees.

Did you know that bears hug trees, too?

@MKAlubs I totally agree with you Albus. Maybe we can run an online campaign for it. What do you say?

Yes, it is nice to find out that I'm not the only one. Yes, it's very spiritual.If more people tried it and practiced it the world would transform into a peaceful paradise.

@excellence7 I've been running my own personal campaign for it for the last 40 years but I've made very little headway into a global transformation of tree consciousness among humans. I'm afraid it might taken a full-blown arboreal revolution. I think it may be coming......

It's easy to fall out of the habit.

Sometimes hugging can be just a tad bit too personal. After all, we can love trees without hugging every one of them.Same goes for humans.
