Recently, I was writing a longish bio for a publication. While writing about myself, I said, "Shruthi likes books, food and..." Unbidden, the next word that came to me was "Trees." I paused for a bit, and then shrugged. Why not? So I added "Trees."
Some of you would have already noticed my obsession with trees lately, in the last couple of years. But for me to equate trees with books and food is, you know, huge.
But that is how it has been recently. Though I've always liked trees in a vague way (like everybody does, I guess) it has only been in the last few years that I've actually "looked" at trees closely. And the more I look, the more enamoured I am by them.
The deep green, the smell of them, the sound of the wind through their leaves, their shade - trees are, to me, perhaps the most beautiful creatures on earth.
They charge my emotional batteries. They leave me with a sense of peace and contentment.
And I never tire of watching them.
