Hug a Tree

I spend most of my time living in a desert landscape. It can be incredibly magical and gorgeous, even or especially due to the sparse environment. But the moment I am around big, old trees, something inside me softens and cheers. Living away from them has given me a new appreciation for these big beauties. Today is Blog Action Day and this year’s cause is Climate Change. So even though I normally focus on human-created beauty, today I’m taking this tiny platform to remind myself not to take the natural world for granted. Especially those big ole trees. If you have one nearby, give it a hug for me. Go on.
