I have a tree right outside my bedroom.
It stands outside my window, its palms reaching meters from my bed. When it’s rainy and breezy, my tree is a percussion instrument. There’s only one on earth like it. A thousand tiny hands drumming and shaking; a symphony of one.
Each night, two paths present themselves to me. Sleep deeply and soundly by tightly sealing the window or leave it open to fully absorb the score, drifting in and out of rest until sunrise.
I never close it.
That is great. As you know Kap, a quality sleep environment is so very important to vitality and well-being.
BIG fan of trees myself. Here in Tallahassee, mighty oaks are numerous, but plenty of towering pines as well. It often feels like the entire town has been squeezed into the middle of the Apalachicola National Forest. Lots of old growth! Great way to meditate-park yourself in front of your favorite tree!
I sleep with my window open most of the time as well. Except in the Summer…it’s way to hot here in Phoenix:(
beautiful anarchy of our heartsense….great share ! thank you
Gabe, The Phils have a ton of injuries and have you ever considered a nutrition adjustment as follows: Have every player on the team, especially the bullpen arms, drink half a gallon of bone broth every day. This is amazing for strength, endurance, joint repair and muscle recovery, and is legal! Here is the recipe which I share from personal experience. I am 65 years old, and incline bench 230 . BY drinking this daily, I have hit my lifetime all-time high at this age on a once a week workout. Ok, enough testimony, here is the recipe: Bake until golden brown chicken bones and especially chicken feet. Place in water, several gallons, add a cup of apple cider vinegar and two or three tablespoons of sea salt, and boil for ten minutes. Then simmer for 24 hours. Then cool for a few hours, break apart all the bones and especially the chicken feet. Then add more apple cider vinegar, and more sea salt. Then boil for ten minutes. Then simmer for 24 hours, then strain out the bones and pour into containers. Refrigerate for one day. Then serve as a drink and store the rest in the freezer until future use.
