  Have you ever flung your arms around a tree, rested your head on its trunk, and closed your eyes? I recommend this, especially for men who are reluctant to engage in softer recreational activities that seem threatening to their masculinity. Before hugging a tree, it is advisable to check if there is a trail of insects that might get into one’s hair or ears; otherwise, one might be in for an unforgettable experience of the avoidable kind.
