Grounding

I wanted to eat watermelon, checked the weather report, no rain till tonight... good, let me take a longer bike ride to a grocery store further away in the neighbourhood. I know they often sell big delicious watermelon at a cheaper price. Went there, got my beloved fruit, and as I tried to head back home, I passed by a very nice paved cycling track. Looked like it's calling me... 'come make a detour and try a different route !' And I did. The weather was just right today, a little cloudy, yet not too hot. Besides, before leaving home today, I put on the best organic mosquito repellent powder, so I was so happy and confident to just go everywhere, even bushy parks and if there were any forests! :) I was riding along this detour route, going further and further. It's exciting to try out a new route sometimes, like going on a little expedition. A few days ago was Summer solstice.[](http://solstice.is/) Yes! Summer is here! I love summer! Riding and riding, I think I had entered another city. There I found a big park, with a huge piece of grassland, and some beautiful trees. I stopped by one tree, thinking it's been a while since I last hugged one. Looking up at it, in my heart I asked, 'May I touched you?' Tree said, 'You are very welcome!' I stepped forward, placed my hands on its strong trunk. I said, 'Please teach me to ground more.' Tree replied, 'You are grounding now.' I focused and started to breathe consciously, inhale light... exhale release... My roots are merged with those of the tree. I am a tree. I am nature. A few breaths later, I thanked the tree and left, so recharged, and grounded, so peaceful at heart. Today is one of those days when breathing and no talk is needed. Have you grounded today? Grounding, it's never enough.
