I know that trees communicate chemically with other trees in the forest. If one is invaded by pests it will not only develop some pest repellent properties, but trees far away from it will do the same even though no pests exist in their area. There is a feeling among some scientists that trees are sentient. Not in a human way, but in a caring, tree-type way to its own kind.
It isn't hard for me to believe that this caring might overflow to other life forms nearby. If those communications, chemical or otherwise can flow through the earth to other trees, why not to other plant life and who knows how far it might go?
Could it travel across forests, or continents, or even the oceans? Could our pheromones become part of this great ecological miracle?
Is it possible that one day the trees got together and created a dream come true for me? Did I experience something so rare it is considered impossible?
Did I walk hand in hand with my love in some sentient way no one will ever understand except me?
