365.. a year of daily tasking

day 68... "Today talk to a plant for at least an hour"

Here i am sat withe vera in hand... talking, inspiring.. listening, like a botanical dr doolittle... i heard nothing.

i thought id try and get into vera's headspace by making myself look more plantlike... the hood went, up all green and shiny... surely now she would feel she could open up... make it a 2 way conversation. I prepared to communicate with plantlife as mankind never had before.

The focus of my atention was vera, she generally sits on the kitchen windowsill taking in the rare light at the back of the house. Today as instructed i talked to her for an hour. clearly not in one sitting  that would be nuts ,but i reckon in a few spells i managed 60 mins , i tried to provide her with encouragement to grow, and advice.. i even sang to her briefly, thats bound to prompt either a growth spurt or death for vera.. i will keep you posted.

I would love to tell you i felt some kind of spiritual connection with vera while i whispered words of encouragement  tenderly into her leaves , truth is i didnt.. To be fair tho, she did have her leaves clipped not long ago (to be used on a burn) and noones going to feel at their best with cliped limbs.

* ARE leaves the limbs or the hair in human terms?


plants talked at...done!
