SALT SPRING ISLAND: I LOVE TREES. I find time to hug trees often. To touch nature and connect with it. Not just forest bathing, but actual physical connection to the natural world. There is no better way to do that then by hugging a tree...or by walking bare foot on grass or on a trail. This one was a little rocky with small sharp sticks, so I kept my shoes on, but most of the time I take them off.
