I completely agree.
When working with relationships/spirit...completely connecting, off grid, WITH the land, listening without ego, to everything. It's hard for me sometimes, but growth is inevitable.

This resonates:
"Animals and plants that have not acquired self awareness are not under such a burden. But we are not to be acting like animals, but rather highly evolved spiritual beings. There are others on this planet that has acquired self awareness and are on the same journey as we are."

Respect and honour of self and "others".

I remember the first week we were here. My daughter...approached a witness tree. A beautiful grandmother black spruce. (Avia calls them tower tree record keepers). They had conversion and giggles for over 20 minutes. It was amazing to witness. That was the moment i knew i was home.

Thank you so much for sharing. Off to get a new book for winter reading!
