I have a friend who lost a young adult son. The place where she found the most solace was sitting beside a tree. Eventually, she became a forest therapist, leading people in “forest bathing,” meditation, and healing. Many of these people rarely if ever go into the woods. I’m surrounded by thousands of downed trees in the North Carolina mountains and never thought of making a seat or playground out of one as I hike past them. Thanks for this essay on so many levels. You’re a beautiful soul, Tricia, and I’m glad that beauty has allowed you to let in some light. Bless you.
