A few years ago the British Tabloid Press (scum like Piers Morgan) had a field day ridiculing His Royal Highness and Britannic Majesty, Prince Charles, after the widely loved heir to the English throne let it be known that he regularly spoke with his plants and that he thought they actually benefitted from the practise.
I now understand what HRH was trying to explain. Plants don't answer back. They don't disagree and ask you to change the CD but they DO respond in other ways. Ways that a grower learns to recognise.
A slight lift to the fan leaves....a healthy and radiant glow....
It's like a love story - between a man and his plants.
Decades ago I was on some AMAZINGLY POWERFUL 'PURPLE OM' ACID TABS, walking around the countryside, just luxuriating in the 'oneness' of existence and the glory of acid experience (so much more than just a 'high').
I walked around a corner and past a tree that had a 'PRIVATE PROPERTY' sign nailed to it and barbed wire wrapped around it, to prevent it from being climbed up on to gain access, across the fence,and on to this particularly materialistic owners 'private property'.
Much of the local farmland had bumper harvests of Liberty Cap magic mushrooms, most Septembers (the reason I was there) and hippies, New Age Travellers and other assorted counter culture types, flooded the fields to pick shrooms.
The farmers didn't like this - because they couldn't charge - so they tended to be passive aggressive, unpleasant and miserable.
Anyway, this tree, with the nails and barbed wire ripping into its flesh, seemed dejected.
You could feel it's discomfort. So I started to gently remove the barbed wire.
Some time later - maybe two minutes, maybe several centuries (Acid users will understand) my friends caught me up.
Without one word all four of them immediately started to help me unwrap the tree.
Later, over coffee and joints for our come down breakfast, as we watched the sunrise, we discussed the tree.
All five of us acknowledged that we felt some kind of signal from the tree.
That, after the wire was removed, the tree was happier.
Call it life force, call it whatever.
Plants communicate with people.
