Together

I read once that trees communicate with each other,
that they possess a unique,
complex, chemical language,
like nothing we humans can comprehend,
that beneath the earth
they are sending messages,
sharing nutrients,
warning each other,
protecting each other,
surviving,
together.
I also read once
that we lose 10 million hectares of forest each year
and the fact that these bits of information can co-exist in my mind
doesn’t feel right.
