Ahhh...

And I'm not being facestious (sp?) now...

Who says that our potential 'multiple' personalities can't cross species and
gender lines? We've already agreed that there are connections everywhere.
Who's to draw the lines?

Wendy,

A long time ago I was in a chain nursery and I heard a
call for help. The sound came from within my head, like
listening to my own voice, except I wasn't thinking the
thought and it wasn't my voice. I turned around and saw a
plant that had been knocked over and was not getting
watered, so it was withering. I righted it. You could say
perhaps I had unconciously seen this plant in need and it
had worked its way into my conciousness.

Then after I moved here, I helped the preacher's son with
his leaf collection for school. We found a Toothache Tree
out on the highway, and I thought how I wished I had one
at my place. I'd pretty much crawled all over these five
acres and documented the plant life, just as any nerdy
botanist would. However, the next day I was walking the
land and I heard my name called out (again the voice
wasn't external). I couldn't figure out what was calling
me. Then it said, over here to your left under the tree.
And behold, there was my very own small Toothache Tree. I
don't know how to explain that one other than hearing the
collective mind.

Ironically, since studying with plant communicators I
haven't heard plant 'voices' again, but I have spent
entire days with some plant I'll be studying (not easy
when they move so slowly) and dreamed about its plant
uses. I don't use drugs and have never been diagnosed with
multiple personality disorder.
