I’m a tree hugger too, love the sense of stability and age they can give off. And as for your sense of smell being heightened, I have a post-Covid reaction to share, and it was to do with processing and gathering in line again. Especially Eucharist, when we could gather again and go up together to receive communion I was so awed by the miracle of being bodily together, to receive the Body of Christ, and how welcome we all are from our different lives and activities, a real sense of the welcome and delight God has in our physical presence and togetherness drawn from a wide range of perspectives etc. It was awesome!
What a beautiful reflection! I am still hit with those moments of disbelief as well, whenever we can do something in community that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. What a gift.
