<p>Earth is a place where we all live . How easy it is to forget the</p>

<p>importance of the land, trees, plants and creatures who  reside</p>

<p> here.  We are only visitors, yet the footprints we humans make,</p>

<p>may determine the outcome  of all the inhabitants of this planet.</p>

<p>I was fascinated sitting here among the tall upright trunks and</p>

<p>canopy of leaves to learn of the connectiveness of trees.</p>

<p>(a gentle wind   blows  quietly through  us and and the trees</p>

<p> joining us to this space)</p>

<p>It seems almost unbelievable  that these stately  trees are</p>

<p>connected  to  each  other through an underground fungal network that</p>

<p> allows them to reach out , and  care for each other.   This is a perhaps</p>

<p>a lesson we all need  to learn if this place of earth we call home</p>

<p>is to survive for future generations.</p>
