Megan Geers- Lane's expericences in the mountains

In Lane's book he tells a story about how he went up in the mountains with his wife and felt so moved by the splendour around him that when he was in a nearby forest that same day he felt like he should give something back to the trees i.e. nature in general. He said blessings then ran around the entire forest touching every tree in sight, with his excitement. I can imagine the connection he must have been feeling especially with the baby trees because when your a grandfather the parenting gene is sort of built in. I'm sure he would wish the same kind of happy tree-life for these baby saplings as he would wish to provide a wonderful life for all of his children and grandchildren. It was kind of touching, really, to read about such a bond.
