tree-hug on march 30

3/30/2021

It was an emotional tree-hug this morning.  Today is the 1 year anniversary of my first posted tree-hug!  And yesterday we had our second vaccine dose, a huge relief!  What started out as a fun way to let friends know I was sending hugs turned into a year-long transformative journey on many levels.
Picture
This picture is of my first tree-hug a year ago.  This year I couldn't wait to climb inside for a hug.
Picture
I appreciate my husband's support and encouragement.  It was his idea to make this a year long goal.  I also appreciate all of you that watched and shared your reactions and thoughts.  You kept me going.
Picture
It was a year of revealing myself in ways I never have before.  I learned how to take risks and  trust my way of seeing and thinking.
Picture
I became more flexible. Like being okay walking in the rain, going out on super cold mornings, snow-shoeing through feet of snow, going off trail.
Picture
I experienced healing and comfort and guidance from my tree-friends and nature.  
Picture
I learned so many new things.  My curiosity grew.  My heart expanded. Trees are not just trees to me anymore.  Even my backyard feels different.  I am grateful I had the opportunity and ability to make this difficult year so special.  Now I am ready to shift gears. This is where the emotion come in.  It's time to step back and take in the totality of what I've done, 10's of thousands of pictures, all of the different tree-beings and bark-beings, tree-greeters, dancers and angels.  All of the stories and messages are calling me to see them as a whole. 
Picture
I will continue to walk and hike and visit the woods and get close to trees, hopefully venturing out a bit further and longer than I've been this past year.  I will continue to share here, but my energy will directed more to taking what I've done and creating something in book form.  My first thought is a children's book dedicated to my 1 year old granddaughter who I barely got to see and hug this past year.  Writing a book feels like a big stretch for me.  But my tree-hug experience has taught me there's more to me than I realized.  I'm looking forward to this new journey ahead.  💚 Peace

What a glorious bright morning for a tree-hug.  
Picture
It was a thrill looking up and seeing the canopy of spring-red buds.
Picture
A lovely lithe-tree lady posed with a perfect background.
Picture
While a hard working-tree man looked out with wonder.  His world in the midst of change.
Picture
Tree-cheers and celebration for the light and spring's colorful-budding.  
Picture
Almost hidden in the rough textured trunk I discovered a barbed wire-strand from long ago embedded.  Consumed by the tree-body.  
Picture
And just feet away a weathered post wore remnants of the long abandoned thorned fence with its unlucky captive woodling.  Message:  As best you can release yourself from past restraints.  A time of new growth is at hand.  Celebrate the hard earned freedom.  💚 Peace

The rain began to fall during this morning's tree-hug.  Glad we brought our umbrellas along.  
Picture
Graceful flowing-trunks long ago adapted to subtle changes around them.
Picture
Dressed handsomely in one-of-a-kind richly textured bark-fabric.
Picture
A splash of electric-green in the still leafless woodland caught the attention of my tree-friend.
Picture
Its wise-eye gaze held steady amidst the field of lenticel-lines and rough bark-plates.
Picture
A rock imitating bark.  Message:  Flow with the changes in life while maintaining your balance.  Open your eyes to what is before you.  Find inspiration in nature. 💚 Peace

This giant of a tree was a couple of miles back in the woods on a rocky hillside.  We saw it last week and had to come back to visit.
Picture
Its old exposed roots had the appearance of rock themselves.
Picture
The towering twin-trunks danced with arms raised high welcoming the long awaited rays-of-warmth.
Picture
While below an ancient tree-being with a distinctive bark-nose posed with a more serious expression.
Picture
The morning-sun had the feeling of a setting-sun as the great tree-waved.  Message:  New beginnings are at the same time endings.  There is seriousness within freedom and light.  Embrace the wisdom of wholeness. 💚 Peace

Music from the stream brought me to this morning's magnificent tree-hug.
Picture
The water's song an expression of the obstacles overcome on its journey.
Picture
While purposeful root-arms dipped into the nourishing flow.
Picture
Next door an equally majestic tree-companion.
Picture
Showed off its great maze of mossy roots.
Picture
Some trees own a lot of sky-real estate.  Soon to be filled with a vast canopy of leaves.
Picture
And back near the trail a sweet kissy-bud wore a delightful shade of spring-pink.  Message:  Nature's cycles are never ending.  Immerse yourself in her inspiring songs and stories.  Find delight in the journey.  💚 Peace

A tall straight tree-hug this morning.  Notice the spirited tree-dancer who snuck into the picture.
Picture
It was a friendly tree-neighborhood with a full symphony of frog-music playing in the distance.
Picture
Almost a year of tree-hugging has transformed me in many ways. Instead of shying away from things that I didn't find pretty or easy to look at I have become curious about their unique colors and textures, their  essence and stories.
Picture
At the base of this tree, in the messy wet moss, I discovered the promise of new tree-life.
Picture
Nearby an exquisite rain-dropped display of light and color appeared on a less-than-friendly pricker bush.
Picture
A wise capped nature-professor popped out where I had parked my hiking-poles.
Picture
Luscious flowing moss growing on a decaying fallen tree-trunk invited me to touch its warm spongy softness.  Message:  Experience love in nature.. Step into a transformed reality.  It is free and waiting patiently for you to arrive.  💚 Peace

A special gift at the beginning of this morning's walk - an owl flew up suddenly and landed in a nearby tree so I could take its picture.  Wow!
Picture
Tree-spirits have many ways to let us know they want to connect. 
Picture
 I was drawn to this tree because of its pronounced bark-eye.
Picture
It took me a while to realize it was a wise owl-eye.
Picture
An interesting tree-couple watched from on high.
Picture
Pure trunk-beauty another gift of the morning.  Message:  Be grateful for the many gifts nature offers freely.  See the beauty of life.  Wisdom and love connect us. 💚 Peace

This morning's tree-hug on the rock was a bit precarious.  I was holding on tight while Stanley took the picture.

It was a lovely warm-bark tree-hug this cold morning.

A yawning, stretching tree-being was waking up for spring's arrival tomorrow!

There was lots of tree-dancing in the windy-sky.

Great tree = great shadow.

And a toothy trunk-rock couple smiled for you all to see.  Message:  Awaken to a new beginning.  Dance, smile, share your joy.  Look towards the sun and the shadows will fall behind you. 💚  Peace

The temperature was15 degrees this morning.  I told Stanley it was invigorating.  He wasn't amused.
Picture
Tall and magnificent trunk-partners
Picture
Climbed high together in unity.
Picture
Entwined respectfully.
Picture
Prayerful tree-hands touched the blue above.
Picture
While along the way more skunk cabbage emerged from the boggy water.  Interesting fact: inside the dark colored flower bud the spadix can generate temperatures 20 degrees warmer than the surrounding air temperature.  Nice but a little too small for Stanley :-D.  Message:  Find warmth and happiness together.  Keep reaching for the highest and best. Remember to laugh.  Peace

Another tall tree-hug this lovely morning.
Picture
I was amazed at the dense shaggy bark that lined the upper trunk.
Picture
While a delicate tree angel-butterfly graced the calmer trunk below.
Picture
A long fallen leaf held secure in the tree's bark-clip.  When the wind blew it made a curious sound.  
Picture
An unusual bark-couple stood out.  The bark-man bowed slightly towards his high hairdoed bark-lady.  I think she was leaning on her parasol.
Picture
Nearby greening grassy-domes with some lingering snow-puffs.  Message:  Shake loose the old and welcome the new.  Find the romance in life.  Angels are with us.  Peace

There's still a lot of snow on the ground but the growing light and warmth hold the promise of spring.
Picture
I got a strong 'look' from this tree-being as I was walking by.  It is how some of my tree-friends call me over to visit.
Picture
He wanted me to notice the unique-bend of his trunk-partner.
Picture
They looked quite beautiful together.
Picture
Sitting in the snow taking pictures I romantically thought I was hearing the snow melt. Turned out the barely perceptible crackling sounds were being made by a sea of springtails springing happily about on the snow all around me.   Oh my!!!
Picture
A hieroglyphic bark-being told a curious story of  earth and sky.  Message:  Enjoy the beauty and delight of the time.  The more you notice the more you realize how extraordinary it is.  Listen and learn.  Peace

This morning I was drawn to visit a young tree growing in a most unlikely place.  It was part tree-hug, part self-hug.
Picture
A gleaming bark-highway to the brilliant-blue sky.

A cross-rock embedded root-highway.
Picture
With an over-rock root-bridge.

In-it-together trunk-twins make the most of their challenging  tree-home.
