An Addition To My Respect For The Nature
In his search for the answer to the intelligence in nature and in an attempt to disprove Descartes' dictum ("I think, therefore I am"), an anthropologist Jeremy Narby wrote this intriguing and an easy-to-read book, which outlined his journey. And, he also included endnotes, which do indeed make an interesting read.

Throughout the book, the two subjects that most intrigues me are the plant communications and transformation in butterflies. An interesting thing about plants is the fact from this book that they have "spirits" and those who were able to see them. And, with a cited research, it is an understanding that plants do communicate with one another. Yes, everyone have some thoughts or two about this phenomena but a scientific research showed this to be true is interesting. Also, the transformations of butterflies are quite a fascinating read.

It is not the journey of Narby that is just important here, but his cited research, evidences, and his conversations with noted individuals to discover this "communication" and "intelligence" in nature as well as between the living beings. This book brings an addition to my respect for the nature and for all beings and a new perspective of how nature works.
