He wasn't really sure what it was about trees. When he stood amongst them, he felt whole. Whole in life. Whole in health.

It was never clear to him what about trees did this to him. It could have been the color of the leaves - how vibrant they were in the sun. It could have been the oxygen slowly seeping from their pores and entering his nostrils, traveling all they way to his lungs.

It didn't matter  much to him what caused it. He just knew he liked the feeling.
