Am I crazy

I feel your strength in every word of this piece. Go you!

[audreybuttercup]

Thank you! It was a hard thing to write, I almost wish I had just taken more time.

[occasionally]

I'm glad that you've been able to keep fighting and that you know the light you have inside of you.

[audreybuttercup]

:smiles: Thank you. Sometimes it seems like it would be easier to go over to the dark side of the force :laughs: but it's definitely worth the fight.

I used to talk to trees, too. When I was in elementary school, I had named all of the trees in our playground and I spent every lunch/recess with them instead of with the other kids.

[audreybuttercup]

:D I'm glad I'm not the only tree talker out there. My kids make fun of me when I put my hands on the trees and whisper to them. But you can just feel them you know? It's comforting.

[kandigurl]

I definitely know. :) A few months ago, we went into the woods for a camping trip/art show type thing. I had knit tree sweaters to decorate our area, and it was really great getting to put them on all the trees, give them each a hug, pat them a little, sort of get to know our place better. I can still see each one of those trees in my mind. :)

I would love to see one of your sweaters some time. I've never seen tree sweaters!

I love that you hug trees :) I used to think I could control the wind. Whenever my friends in elementary school would tease me I would run off and dance in the wind, thinking that when I ran it started to blow.

[audreybuttercup]

:D It's so funny that you said that, about controlling the wind. I used to dream when I was little that I could jump in the air and the wind would carry me or fall off a cliff and the wind would stop me from fallling. It wasn't control so much as that the wind protected me.

Nature is such a wonderful guardian isn't it? :)

I hug trees too. :)

I walk in the light. I keep the light inside me.

Good for you. :)

[audreybuttercup]

You and I must make a tree hugging date. I don't have enough tree hugging friends. :D

[kathrynrose]

Can you ever really have enough tree hugging friends? :)

[audreybuttercup]

No ma'am! :D
