One would think that it gets old, taking the same paths through the Arboretum each week during the pandemic. But it never really got old, was always new and the wonder of these magnificent trees and shrubs will always evoke awe, respect and gratitude. Walking through the Arboretum each week, reminded me that I/We belong to the planet Earth. We are a part of something so wondrous, so complex, and so breathtaking, that to be immersed in it is food for the soul. I tended to forget how interconnected we are with the planet and the universe while working remotely from my apartment. My weekly pilgrimage to the Arboretum showed me that I wasn’t alone. I was one with life on Earth. Those treks gave me peace of mind and joy.
