Good to hear, Tamara Do explore this forum to find many wonderful & inspiring posts on various topics, helping people to navigate life gracefully. ✶Second: Nature (plants, trees) and anything that changes its form with time, does not have a SOUL, but rather "awareness" (a pre-planted awareness within those trees and plants on how to grow and how to 'respond' to your environment). ➤This is the reason we can eat fruits and vegetables, as we are not killing any living being.
