so yesterday, labored with the guilty feelings of being both lazy and un-colorado like, i left my comfortable home and televison and went hiking up the rocky mountains.
side note:
if you decide to hike up the rocky mountains (or any mountains for that matter) bring some water with you. dear God, i about died!
now back to the story:
so as i was hiking high above the city, looking down upon man's creation, looking upward on to God's. walking trails guarded by wooden fences to make sure that us mortals dont screw up nature, i began to think about the life of trees.
more specifically, what its like to be a tree.
i imagined the pain that must come from having to stay in one spot where you are fenced in by dead carcasses of what was once your relatives, now chiseled, lacquered and screwed together; almost as if to say "this is what will happen to you if you step out of line."
i thought about how they were urinated on.
marked on.
cut down.
burned.
its like they are in prison or something.
i started to feel really bad.
and thats when i did it.
i hugged a tree.
i actually put my arms around a large piece of wood and embraced.
i even talked to it a little bit.
i told the tree that i appreciate everything its done for us.
you know, giving us air and all that.
i hugged a freaking tree!
i havent been in colorado a month, and i am a freaking tree hugger.
this is sad.
oh this is so, so sad.
