Now trending – “forest bathing,” which consists of walking slowly through a forest while thinking about walking slowly through a forest.
I’m for it, because it means the practitioners are far away from me. Which is good, because they tend not to be good at “shower bathing”.
Bears have used the forest as a bathroom since time immemorial. Bears 1, new-age liberals 0.
heh. #3726 on the Amazon best seller list. Clearly a movement. The problem with Zen is that when you’re sitting there bathing in the forest, and three guys bomb through on their mountain bikes it can take you 3 days to find your “center” again
Oppo made a very good point. Up here in Alaska if you go out in the forest for some “forest bathing” you just might run into a hungry bear, who coincidently is hunting for his favorite prey….forest bathers.
Now trending: Forest Baiting?
If a tree falls in a forest onto someone contemplating the forest and it kills them, does it laugh?
Somehow, antics like this by eco-freaks and social justice warriors always remind me of Mrs. Amundsen taking my kindergarten class to the local fire station sixty years or so ago.
How so?
A “feel” trip?
