I swear, many years ago. In my 20s, recently wed and moved into a house with a big old tree in the front which really needed trimming. So we did that and the next day, getting out of the car and looking at how nice it was now, I felt this overwhelming sense of gratitude coming from that tree. Never felt anything like it before. Like a gut punch. I just stood there, jaw-dropped. Ever since then I've had a great love and respect for trees.
