I love this gentle activity connecting us to #trees. I wish you have the time today to notice a tree, talk and listen to it, admire, thank, caress, touch, perceiving, merging in the tree life force, filling ourselves with this universal energy. Hi Tree, I love you! youtube.com/shorts/zXTMk...

It's not because it's legal to exploit nature or kill trees, etc. that you HAVE to. If it's unethical, unsustainable, warmongering, damaging in any way, then don't do it, don't invest in it. Instead divest to regenerative carbon neutral, circular local economy. Anything else is precious time lost.
