To stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to give up many enjoyable things such as shaking hands and hugging(拥抱). Many people feel lonely or sad without physical touch. But there is something they can safely put their arms around and hold close: a tree.
Tree hugging may sound a little strange, but it’s not a new idea. Humans have turned to Mother Nature for comfort for centuries. In Japan, people have long practiced shinrin-yoku. “Shinrin” means forest and “yoku” is the Japanese word for bath. People have a bath in the forest. But no soap or water is needed for shinrin-yoku. All it needs is listening to the sounds and taking a breath.
After COVID-19 broke out, Israel encouraged(鼓励) people to try tree hugging. Moshe recently visited the Apollonia National Park to hug a tree. “We are not hugging many people these days,” he said. “Going out to nature, taking a deep breath and hugging a tree are quite nice things to do. ”
Iceland’s Forest Service made a similar decision. I advised everyone in the country to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day. Park workers cleared paths(小道) in the woods so that visitors could keep a safe distance(距离) when they looked for their favorite trees “There are lots of trees here, and there is no need for everyone to hug the same tree. ” said a park worker.
What do you think of tree hugging? When you feel lonely next time, would you be willing to go and hug a tree?
