It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
If humans were to model the lifestyle displayed by healthy community of cells , our societies and our planet would be more peaceful and vital
In a forest of a hundred trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike.
The trees are whispering to me, reminding me of my roots, and my reach… shhhhhh… can you hear them? Selflessly sharing their subtle song.

A drop melting into the sea,
Standing in a woods, or even by a tree in a park, you can sense a complex of interlinking roots underground. Here’s a quotation from Jon Lieff, M.D., that speaks to the ways in which trees and plants communicate:
