I told her I had recently become a tree worshipper and asked if there was an organisation I could join.

Savaras the early tribal inhabitants of Odisha were tree worshippers who called their god Jaganata from whom the word Jagannath may have been derived.

The fact is – and call me Mrs Unadventurous – I don't want a load of tree worshippers standing between me and the local thugs who want to smash my door down.

In the park you were anonymous, just two other guys among all the other citizens enjoying the summer air: the joggers, the skateboarders, the bicyclists, the stroller pushers, the dog walkers, the Frisbee tossers, the unicyclists, the tree worshippers, the Hare Krishnas, and the lost Boy Scout troops.
