Hug a Tree!
Q: How can I get in touch with the spirit of my area?
A: Hug a tree! Seek a tree that has been in your area long enough to have a large enough trunk for you to embrace. Touch your tree - talk with the dryad inside (and the animals living in her branches!)
When you get to know your tree, give her a big hug - feel the sap (the life blood of the tree) running, pulsing within - merge your essence with that of the tree, and become one for a while. When you return to
yourself, thank the tree - and come away with new knowledge of your area and itīs roots!
