Thank you for expressing so beautifully many things which until recently I guess many of us thought were “just me/us”. Despite obviously knowing where my physical skin ends and soil and sky begin, I have always had difficulty defining myself as separate from the land. Even inside anair conditioned house, mostly confined to a bed, my physical feelings and moods are profoundly affected and even directedby the state of the living beings around me- if the plants and trees are too dry I am inexplicably irritable, restless and uncomfortable-until I water or it rains.
