A Return to Roots

And here we have a picture of me lovingly embracing a tree.  Yes.  Lovingly.  Why?  According to the legendary myth of Apollo and Daphne, Daphne pleaded to her father Peneus to transform her so that she may escape the ravenous and unrequited love of Apollo, and more importantly because Professor Sexson required it as an ill-humored attempt at a humiliating assignment.  Still, mythology dictates that these metamorphoses are commonplace, and that each tree may have been a human being once, and may be so yet.    So I inquire - why not hug a tree?  Sometime you might find a tree that hugs back.
