Zen and the art of...

..associating with trees and stones

I know of a man who had a severe stroke and went through a long and hard rehabilitation. The most important and helpful for him along the way was when he could leave the rehab center (located nearby a forest), with all its well-intended personnel (who measured every little progress of his) and come out to the stones and trees in the forest, which did not expect anything of him! They were just reliably being there and expected the same of him....to just BE!

...I can easily relate to that...
