Thanks for sharing!

I won't be surprised if science one day finds out that plants emit pheromones which, when inhaled, affect our emotions. (Sure there are other mediums of nature - mind -interaction, too. But pheromones might be something what empirical science at its current stage is able to identify and to explore further.) I think there already is proven evidence that plants communicate with chemicals they emit in air, and that they process information and react to "messages" sent by other plants. So it just might be that some of that chemically transmitted information is readable for humans, too. (Birches, I like birhces)

Oh well. I'd love to one day re-visit the Scottish mountains - to wander the highlands and to read those books you mention. A year or antoher, time will come =)
