Agree! I was building a trail for my kids and was amazed by how rejuvenated I felt after a short time in the woods. I literally felt intoxicated, like I was on stimulants. Since COVID theater began I switched from searching google/Wikipedia to science journals, And what do you know, this phenomenon has been well studied: “shinrin yoku” (forest-bathing). Evidently the raking, cutting branches and pulling vines stirred up lots of chemicals in the air. Unfortunately, I was attacked by chigger bugs, and had to take a break, but can’t wait to resume my trail building. :)

Live life, for it is the only reality there is.

The sooner we all tear ourselves from the psychosis of the [tele]screen the quicker we will all heal wounds of the mob.

Use all of your senses to take in the wonders of the real world.

*THEY* will not win this battle for your soul.
