Oh man, we are all in tune with nature, all the time-- it's one of the secrets of life and the mechanics of the universe, that every thing is natural, and the sounds and colors of nature are a perfect reflection and echo of us, every second. But yeah I did have a sort of communion with this tree, hard to describe, but I pulled an old rotting log off of this willow's critical earth/oxygen point, right at the base, and when I moved it, a powerful smell of decay swept out of the dirt there. Hard to describe, but in a telepathic sense, I felt the tree thank me, and we, or I, felt it intensely. It was the first time I can say that I communicated with a tree.
