“When I Am Among The Trees is about the calmness, majesty, and beauty of being surrounded by trees and walking in the woods. 
Walking among trees has health benefits. Shinrin-yoku or ‘forest bathing’ is a practice in Japan, where people are encouraged to visit and spend time in a forest to improve their health. Studies have confirmed that spending time within a forest setting can reduce psychological stress, depressive symptoms, and hostility, while at the same time improving sleep and increasing both vigor and a feeling of liveliness.
Mary Jane Oliver was an American poet who won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Her work is inspired by nature, rather than the human world, stemming from her lifelong passion for solitary walks in the wild. It is characterized by a sincere wonderment at the impact of natural imagery, conveyed in unadorned language. In 2007 she was declared to be the country’s best-selling poet.”
