Visit with an old Pine tree

I went for a walk in a small nature preserve last week, and I came across this very large Loblolly Pine. It is the same kind we have in our garden, but this one was probably close to 150 years old. It had scars that had grown in from where branches came off. I circled it and felt an immense sense of healing. This beautiful tree energetically encouraged me to drop anything that was bothering me, back pain, headache, even plain stress. It would all be "recycled" like compost to become useful energy again. I leaned against the trunk and afterwards felt wonderful & "renewed. "

I also love the pines in our garden very much, I think the oldest is around 75 years, and we have quite a few of them. I think feeling so connected to "our" trees allowed me to instantly feel drawn to this one. They are very common in Georgia and therefore often overlooked. I feel like their presence is majestic and comforting. I believe the older ones are especially healing to their surroundings and it is important to protect them.
