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.
