I continue to be amazed at the research about connections between human health and nature. This article reminds us that nature is good for our health in many ways and that even a small "dose" of nature, like walking under trees in an urban neighborhood, still has a meaningful impact. Get a full forest bath when you can, but a walk around the block and past the park is also good!

I continue to be fascinated by research that tells us how powerfully good exposure to nature is for human beings. I'm beginning to think of nature as a magic potion, which if we dose ourselves regularly, can improve our health, mood and sense of ourselves. This piece on the power of awe resonated with me after I went hiking in the East Bay hills, which are positively adorned with wildflowers, this weekend.
