Twice I sat in the middle of the forest, on a trail I call the 'forbidden trail'. There it is very quiet and we can chat and listen to birds. We sit at the feet of two pine trees, on clear clean pine needles. The dog usually sits with us and cuddles sometimes.

I wish to keep in my memeory the time I had with hubby in that spot today and billy. We sat for a good 20 minutes. And COMPLETELY relaxed. At last! The forest, like Japan knows very well, is healing.
