Disjointed your jaw?!? That sounds like a story to tell.
I’ve always loved trees but even more so lately. They have taken on new meaning for me. Some cultures thought of them like gods. I haven’t gone around hugging them, just admiring them. Maybe I’ll try a hug or two now and again. :)
Careful listening sounds like a really good idea.
Aw, I guess, all this year is a "looong" story. I post so slow that everybody welcomes me back when I do hahah XD when I've no really gone (yet, haha) just at my pace :)
I wrote an article a while back about the science behind hugging trees, it's an oldie but it explains why (scientifically) it can make you feel better. It has to do with hormones ;-) no need to vote for it, but as I always say, articles exist and have purpose after that period too :) https://steemit.com/nature/@yidneth/the-evergreen-oak-encounter-and-why-you-should-hug-a-tree
Believe me, listen to it, because at the end just trying to "hurry" too much you end up having to stall or even stop. I wish I had followed my advice, but re-training :) Get some proper rest :)
