I am so glad he mentioned the water wizard. Victor understood the 4th phase of water before anyone else did. Maybe better. There is wisdom in the native traditions of singing to the water each spring. My father put it "The trees call the rain" . even we humans are called to play our part in the dance of life.

Fantastic post. I appreciate the detail of your review. I've added this book to my very very long list of must reads.

This is such a thought-provoking post, especially as I woke up this morning thinking about why people go to war, and that many people seem to think warlike behaviour is natural and inevitable for humans and animals, and yet my houseplants never fight - they just thrive! You make so many important points in this post. I will look out for this book.

Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to read it and comment. Yes indeed, we have much to learn from our rooted elders in the kingdom of photosynthetic beings.
