When Trees Remember: The Hidden Language of Forests That Connects Life Across Species

You’ve felt it, haven’t you? That diffused shift whilst you step from a loud, paved road into the heart of a vintage wooded area. The air cools and thickens. The mild sun softens, dappling the ground in moving patterns of gold and green. A profound silence descends, but it’s a silence that is, satirically, full of sound. The rustle of leaves, the creak of a branch, the distant call of a bird. It feels… aware.
