#Repost @ratachewy.gvsu with @get_repost ・・・ Dendrogeistic Entanglement [den-dro-guy-stic] (n): the sense of connection with of the soul of nature when walking in a forest; a pleasant loss of time and trivial issues when in the company of trees. It is the sense of entanglement and deep ineffable connection with the ancient souls of trees, that content silence when walking through a forest path where the sounds of cars and text alerts fade away into serenity. Almost as if the forest is welcoming us, edging us back to where we belong. A feeling that has drawn me and others back to the woods for our whole lives. By weaving this word with a prefix for tree ‘dendro,’ the German word for soul ‘geist,’ and adding the suffix ‘ic’ for a state of being, I wanted to capture everything relating to the deep souls of trees. My hope is that by giving this feeling a name, we can share it and spread the idea that souls reside in trees as well; perhaps giving more of a feeling of connection and need to protect the forests they reside in. With the handful of people I have spread this phrase to, they have all found connection with past experiences and enjoy the ring it has. #anth101 #anth204hedges #anth101challenge4 #wordweaving #anth101repost #anth101bestofchallenge4 (at Grand Valley State University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1ZmoTHumw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ulo60r5fxrun
