Thought for today:
"As I grow older I always guessed that I would would need more wees along with less sleep and food and greater expectation to be waited on. I never would have believed however that I needed more hugs. I have often wondered why an intelligent and highly rational person might 'hug a tree'. I have, over the years crossed paths with a great many tree huggers; some of whom have had an abundance of wealth, intelligence, title and social status supporting their names. Each time I have tried to establish some sort of unified reasoning for the purpose of this activity, all I've been able to ascertain is that while all tree huggers claim that placing their arms around a tree is better than felling one, none would go so far as to assert that there is any proof that the tree actually benefits from their touch. However, all tree huggers are quick to point out that they most certainly feel better for having given the tree a hug. I feel like that when I hug a person. Perhaps a quick switch from hugging trees to hugging people would bring untold benefits to mankind?" William Forde: March 26th, 2013.
