@jeanne-mayell Oh boy, you know how much I love this topic. In Japan, people practice forest bathing (walking in the forest) and our very own NIH has published a Japanese study on the physiological and psychological benefits of that practice. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6589172/
When you put that together with emerging scientific theories about the sentience of trees, well to me it stands to reason that we can tap into that tree energy. Why not try sending trees the same loving kindness that we send to one another?

And for those who read the cards, that process opens up our intuitive processes. When we read the cards, we partially do that by seeing what part of the card stands out us. When you go into the forest or your own backyard, see what stands out when you observe trees. You may discover that you’re tapping into tree energy and intuitive thoughts come to mind.
I love what you wrote here -- a method for "reading" trees. Yes, I will try to see what stands out for me. I stare at trees often so I will start tomorrow morning.
Spring has sprung! Put some hopeful happy hilarity in your Spring steps… Melanie, inspired by the Woodstock music festival, wrote this song about embracing light… which lives inside each of us if we cultivate it ☀️
“So, raise the candles high / ‘Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night / Oh, raise them higher again / And if you do we could stay dry against the rain”

Today is Diana Ross’ 80th birthday. We were fortunate to see her perform once for a Poughkeepsie fundraiser, where her son attended Marist College.
And bc it’s a sorrowful day for a variety of reasons for people around the globe, I want to share this uplifting song about reaching out to others when the weight of the world weighs heavily. Spreading loving kindness is always the answer. Peace.

Thank you of letting us know about her birthday and for sharing this wonderful version of this song with us. I forgot how much Ross made it her own!!
Perfect for right now!
Happy Birthday 80th birthday to an incredible legend!
I always weigh where the best place to post things might be before posting and this one could fit in many categories so - it's back to the revolving lounge.
K and I (I guess I can call him Kevin now at this point) were interviewed today by local news. The story is here: https://www.newsnetmedia.com/story/50677690/story-of-selflessness-a-path-to-liver-donation
