Everything is alive…we come from a culture that doesn’t teach us these things innately, and we have to pursue learning them. All that you might learn from me about communicating with the plants also applies to the rocks, the sky, the wind, the hawk that just flew by, the cloud people. And, something that’s very important to understand about this is that we are all capable of doing that. We wouldn’t be here as human beings if we weren’t able to communicate with the rest of our relatives.
