Forest bathing for beginners

Dear Friend

I see you

I feel your warmth

Our connection

Laughter

Early morning peace.

We walk.

We dissect.

We judge.

We cry.

We holler,

sometimes with laughter,

and sometimes

in pain.

Husbands, dogs, lovers, 

work, kids, shoes,

food, family, what next…

And then we 

emerge.

The same,

yet new again.

Bonded,

yet free.

And you turn and say to me:

“Next week, same place, same time.”

And I cannot

think

of another place

in the world

I’d rather be.
