We have known this
for quite some time, that all life is conscious and that
we must expand our ideas of what that means.
Science is now
catching up, and what a delight it is to witness this
marriage of worlds.
We are moving from
an anthropocentric worldview, that sees humans as these
super special unique creatures unlike all others,
towards an ecocentric view, that values all living
things in and of themselves.
I knew this in my
heart, when I would walk in the forest, staring out, I
was sure that something was staring back.
I have always felt
connected to nature, in relationship - we both sing a
secret song that the blood in my veins knows by heart.
Take it in… plants "exhibit the traits that we associate
with personhood."
What does that mean
for you?
