From Simon:
"To take a punnet of raspberries to the wood on a likely feeling day, and to slowly eat half with as much relish and focus as you can muster, while chucking, placing, tossing, bestrewing the other half about. To do this without particular care or thought, though I might favour the better lit nearer the edge areas. There can be no wrong or right placements, even up in a bush, in dark shade, or deep in a puddle, for the woodland and its creatures will re-arrange them (or not) in far wiser ways than you or I begin to know. To do this with no attachment or investment in any outcome, but simply as a small, in the moment sharing, a recognition and appreciation of all that the woodland shares with you. A reciprocation, a generosity of thanks, of love, of seeing, and perhaps as apology for the omission of such acts before. And then to walk away and let the whole thing go. The woodland may in its own time choose to grow some of them or not, but you would have offered the possibility along with your gift of gratitude."
