I recall Taoist Masters writing about meditating
\nnear trees.
\nThey claimed a peaceful energy emanated from
\nthe trees.
\nI believe they probably were right; it does seem
\nmore peaceful spending time near trees.
\nI remember the Taoist even have a meditation
\nmethod tied to trees, standing like a tree.
\nHaving tried it decades ago, I found it was
\nan effective, potent method.
\nYou stood with your knees bent and you arms
\npositioned as if holding a giant ball.
\nI know that treelike stance would give one
\nthe peace of a steady tree.
\nI believe with years of standing like a tree
\nyou would become One with the Tao.<\/p>\n
