I love this and totally get where you're coming from. I don't hug trees, even though I'll admit I have felt the urge! But I love the smell of them and I collect twigs, bark, acorns and pinecones whenever I'm out in a forest. In September I also collected lots of horse chestnuts. Trees are wonderful.
Oh yes! I, and my boyfriend and fully subscribed tree huggers, I think I always have been. They tell me which one is today's tree, others are for close noticing. Some I return to regularly and know as old friends, others I meet just for one off connections.
That definitely counts! Collecting natural things from trees is another lovely way to connect with them! Perhaps that is something I will start doing too.

This is lovely. I touch (and hug) trees as well. So wonderful to connect with another sentient being in this way. I love your descriptions.
It really is! Thank you ☺️

Always thrilled to meet a fellow tree hugger! Yes I love that idea that some are old friends that we can connect with regularly as the seasons change.
I really must try collecting things from trees too. Yes, trees really are wonderful!
