I've been told, quite seriously, that is is healthy to hug a tree--and, no, that was not a joke at treehuggers' expense. A way to connect.

I probably should have written a more evocative introduction to that video of the pinus nigra splitting. But the action is so poignant that to me it is almost sublime and I didn't want to ruin anyone's reaction by presaging it with my limited words.
