SHINRIN YOKU SHINRIN YOKU...The Japanese have this lovely term that means Forest Bathing. I didn't always have a term for it, but it's something I have done all my life since my grandmother wrapped my 3 year-old arms around a tree, put my ear to the tree and told me to listen to the song.......It's a lovely. calming experience to just be in among the trees. Today I heard a bumble bee go by my head and many Robins and Towhees singing, Ravens burbling......comforting rustles and sunbeams cheerfully bouncing around ....... The photos aren't great, but may remind you that Spring is pushing through and life is burgeoning and lovely.     |

When I saw the title of the blog, I thought SFF was up to its old tricks of losing letters and couldn't even imagine what it was supposed to be. Glad I came in and read it because I loved the feeling of peace it generated. I've only been outside a couple of times so far, that the weather was cooperative and enjoyed the warmth of the sunshine and the sounds of the birds. Soon, that will be joined by the sounds of the farmers preparing the fields for planting. Thanks for a refreshing blog. Happy Forest Bathing to you! Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
