New thing today— Tree sit!!!

I know this might seem like on of the most simple things to do, but when a “new thing” idea grabs a hold of me, I have to do it. This one was when I was on a hike in the hills of lovely Hollywood California…..and saw one of m favorite trees stretching its arms out to me…… I had to respond.  I actually got excited at the thought of climbing into the tree, and felt like a kid again.  I remember a picture of me sitting in a tree  in Africa when I was 6  years old (shirtless, which I still question my parents about) and looking like I was the happiest thing on the planet. I used to LOVE to climb trees. There is something about being in the arms of a tree, that as an adult, connected me back to nature.  I stayed in the tree for about 30 minutes, ( with my shirt still ON by the way) and started really feeling like all “one with the universe” and stuff….. and if I had a few more years of patience in me, I just might have stayed there like Buddha, but instead my enlightenment came in the form of a dog named Howard, who sat and PEED on the tree, and was ready to go home.

I hope this inspires you to at least get near a tree today, sit under one, climb one, or just hug one. (Howard says don’t pee on one, that’s a dogs job)
