"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu was a Chinese philosopher and writer who lived around the year 500 BC; and he is thought to be the founder of Taoism. I'm sure I don't agree with everything about Taoism but I like the quotation, and I don't mind learning things from other religions when there's something I consider worthwhile....

"Forest Bathing"
A concept known as "forest bathing" was first studied in Japan a few decades ago; and Germany held an international conference on it last year. Forest bathing means to take in the atmosphere of trees, for both physical and mental health benefits.... It's nice to get a change from technology, as well.... Strenuous exercise isn't required, unless a person wants to and has an opportunity.... Just breathing the air and enjoying the scenery is helpful...and the effects can last for some time after leaving the area. Probably most trees are good
but pine trees are reported to be especially beneficial, if people have them available.
