Did you know Witness Trees are a thing?
Apparently there's an entire corner of the internet dedicated to them.
All I know, is that when the world feels like it's spinning uncontrollably - hugging an ancient tree helps me find perspective, and slow the spinning in my brain.
This white oak tree is over 190 years old and has seen some serious s**t. When I wrapped my arms around its trunk and rested my face on its bark I detected a "hummmm" of energy. My feet felt grounded to the earth and there was no other noise in the moment except for the leaves rustling in its gargantuan branches.
Nature never ceases to amaze me.
Tree hugger for life 🌳
