Taking A Bath Outside

There is a small area in the park we frequent that has survived the ravages

of the north Atlantic winds and was left pretty much unscathed by Hurricane Juan in 2003.

There is something very enchanting about a path into the woods, don't you think?

This one beckoned us '3 amigos'  last week.

And into the woods we went.

Almost immediately upon entry one has the feeling of calmness.

The Japanese have a term for this: Shinrin-yoku or 'forest-bathing'.

(Click on the above name.)

If you can, try this out for yourself. The best bath of your life!
