5/1/17 Forest Bathing
Adventure through the Outdoors

       Today, I took an adventure through the outdoors. It was my first time ever going forest bathing. We started walking on a trail through the woods. The key to forest bathing is to remain quiet and really let nature speak to your soul. While on the walk, I observed many things. If you pay attention, you will find many smaller organisms that are pretty cool. I found plants that were unique and new to me. My friend and I took a slow approach and really soaked up the beautiful day. The weather was sunny and 75 degrees which felt perfect because we were shaded by the trees of the forest. Overall, I really enjoyed my first experience with forest bathing. It was relaxing and it made me feel fresh.

The forest missed the organisms that died that night, but it is just something they have to live with. Three months later, here I am creating my mandala on the same tree that went through disaster not ...
