Reconnect: Make a friend

Even if you spend the majority of your time in a city, chances are, during the typical day, you pass by lots of living beings, including many of the plant persuasion. 

Next time you are in your normal routine, be aware of the various plants (including trees, especially if you live where right now most green things are dead or dormant for winter) that you encounter as you are out in the world. 

Are there any that speak to you?

Try to pick one (or more) of these to be your new friend. The beauty of making a new plant friend is that you don’t need to worry about texting them back, or be sure to comment on their instagram posts. Plant friends are super low maintenance. 

All you need to do is say “hi” when you pass by. That’s it. You may want to hang out longer and say a bit more, and that’s cool too. 

It seems like a simple practice. It is, and it also opens up a way to be more aware, more connected, and have something that you look forward to every day. 

Happy friending!
