“Back when I would hug trees in Santa Cruz, I would sort of ask the tree if it was okay if I hugged it and I would feel their spirit or energy or something give a response back, and then proceed accordingly.”
I had a pastor who said in a homily that someday even the trees won’t be safe from sexual perverts. Thought I’d never see the day.
I always thought that Tree Hugger had a much much different meaning than being a green freak.
