Lance, I love talking about Nature! ;) great topic! I would say that I am most drawn to 'trees'.. I guess you can say I've always been a tree hugger, though I never thought of it as naturally hugging trees but I suppose I do in so many ways! I loved climbing them when I was young in a beautiful orchard, and even growing up I still would sneak up there sometimes. Now, I look at the white willow, oak and pine most of all as symbols for my journey and they are so comforting, soothing and hopeful to me! They speak of life, renewal and a grounding center of truth and unmistakable resilience ~beauty! Yes, I'm a tree gal! ;) Although I can't climb them as much as I used to, I hug them when I walk by in my heart and I care more about the environment then I ever did and want to do more to protect it in saving our beautiful world! ;) much luv, Jen
