Grimper/climbing

It is something forbidden in the Secret Garden. So this page might disappear. Or just pretend you never saw it. 

What is it that calls kids to climb a big tree? To stay there? Trees are inviting, aren`t they?

​

The older is the tree the more inviting it becomes. Even comforting, even seducing somehow: come sit on my big branches, it is like a sofa, come smell my leaves, come sense my shshshsh sound in summer, come see my little insects and moss from close...

​

Touching a tree, sitting on a tree, belonging to a tree.

​

And of course, the monkey history.

A PRACTICE: Close your eyes for 30 seconds. Remember the Tree That You Used to Climb When You Were a Kid.

....

How do you feel now?
