Strangers

Yesterday I had a lovely
Interaction with
A lady on the bus.
She is visiting from Germany
And was returning from
A day spent in a forest.
We bonded over our
Love of trees.
She asked for
A recommendation
For a place to visit.
I first mentioned Lynn Canyon
And she said that’s
Where she spent the day
And it was wonderful.

"Did you know Japan introduced forest bathing as a medical treatment in 1982?

Forest bathing involves spending time in the forest to reduce stress, boost immune system, and improve mood. Studies show significant improvements in health markers among participants.

"It is in these moments of quietude that we come to understand the true meaning of well-being."

"Spending just 30 minutes in nature reduces stress levels by 30%.

Being surrounded by greenery and a quiet environment can calm the mind and lower cortisol levels. This is due to the sensory experiences of nature, such as sight, sound, and smell, which help slow down thoughts and promote relaxation.

"Nature is not a place to visit. It is home." - Gary Snyder.

Standing tall where the flowers bloom wild and free. 🌼 After leaving the digital chaos behind, this is where I recharge. Building strength in the gym, building dreams for a better tomorrow as a police officer, and building peace within Simple life, strong purpose.

Today I took myself to a forest for some much-needed nature time. There’s a Save-On grocery store nearby so I stopped in.

They have a *huge* health section. The nutritionist came to see if I was finding everything + I mentioned I was happy to see the selection of brands.

I noted one for hot flashes + he was surprised I needed that. He said he thought I was 35 but I told him I’ll be 55 this year.

I love seeing surprised reactions to my age.
