Bennett Mabee: Week 2

My 30 minute encounter with Thor was relaxing. The stresses of the week melted away as I climbed, leaned against, and talked to my tree. As I spent time with Thor, I focused on his features, which was a welcome distraction! I was bit by a mosquito, and then I realized that stagnant water that Thor holds is probably allowing mosquitoes to breed! I was impressed by the large cracks in Thor's bark. They reminded me of deep lacerations that require stitches. I found the smell of the tree and its walnuts on the ground to be refreshing. The smell reminds me of hanging out with my grandpa many years ago. We threw the walnuts out into the street near my grandparent's house and watch cars run them over. I look forward to spending more time with Thor and seeing what memories and experiences will come about.
