For over 40 years I have reveled in the beauty of the forest, the estuarine marsh, and other such places where I have spent much of my time. When stresses and strains get to me, even now, I need only take a forest walk, run my hands along the furrowed bark of a Douglas-fir, or watch the yellow and brown, big-leaf maple leaves sail effortlessly to the ground to be rejuvenated.
