This morning I walked down to a quiet area for qigong. I have been interested in learning about the practice for over a decade. At the end I give the tree a hug. For me its like hugging God. Does anyone here practice qigong? #qigong #practice #movement #meditation #treehugging

@whknott True. The same in #SMStirling's books as well. And I even I saw a future where humanity (at least in the US) was divided between #TreeHugging #Pagan types and #ChristoFascists. And that was before #OctaviaButler -- in the 1980s! It was titled "State of the Art" because civilization comes to a grinding halt at a certain point of our 'development'. In "State of The Art" and my other semi-prescient book of the events leading up to it ("The Kosmos"), it was an extraterrestrial civilization that kept us in our place -- to prevent us from destroying the biosphere and spreading the disease of capitalism and colonialism to other worlds.

First time in the forest naked and barefoot in over two months, it was only 5°C but only my feet felt cold it felt so good

Last time I heard something along the lines of #KeirStarmer's "I hate #treehuggers" was in 2009 when I was thrown out of the London #Surfing club after bringing up that #flying London to Newquay wasn't quite in sync with the #aloha spirit. Resonse? Dixit: "#TREEHUGGING BANNED. ANY HUGGER WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST." If #Labour goes the same way, #VoteGreen ! Here a reminder of the courageous origins of treehugging in #India & the Bishnoi people massacre. https://bylinetimes.com/2023/07/10/come-clean-keir-did-you-really-disparage-tree-huggers/

This pic I made today at the local hospital parking lot. Frozen trees. Here we are with at least one biggie

Is it sunrise or sunset? In fact I don’t know. Sun is low and the shadows of the trees in the middle of the pic are long. Little snow on the ground
