In Japan they call it shinrin-yoku
in Korea it is salim yok
forest bathing
which could be interpreted
as walking in nature
except I am told
it is so much more
I think of our cabin on the island
how the cedar trees smell like hope
and the ocean says hush hush hush
until I do
perhaps this is what they mean
by bathing
not walking through nature
but something more intimate
like letting the vast green of it
wind its way through you.
