If you are not familar with the Giving Tree, the above link gives a narration by Shel from 1973. It's such a touching story that has meaningful messages. When time permits, please take a gander.
As you travel through some of the old growth of Overton Park, I hope you find peace of mind. Take in some of the marvels of nature along the way, and be sure to bring a pen. If so desired, tree hugging is permitted!
