We think we are smart (us humans), but we still have so much to relearn. I often think about all the gigantic trees that were cut out from their native lands, did they release themselves to the change?, or could their cries be heard long after they were gone? by those few who were willing to hear them? When we sold our house near Chicago, with several venerable trees, we were saddened to hear that the new owners also cut out every single one, and built a two story house instead... If we lose our connection to Earth, we only have ourselves to blame.

Indeed. I’m sorry to hear about those trees.

It’s heartbreaking how often forests are replaced with concrete, and how easily we forget what truly is best for us and our planet. I hope more people start listening to the earth before it’s too late.

Fantastic post Anna💚🌳 Trees are like us. They can communicate, they feel stress, they can cry. They can cooperate . It is science about this. German Peter Wohlleben have a lot of interesting documentation about trees in his books. I often put my arms around trees and hug them. If you put your hand on a tree you can feel its energy🌿💚 we are meant to be connected with nature, it has always been like that. We are all one, part of The Universe.But The modern soceity and media distract us with other things. We have lost much of our spiruality, but we can take it back. Being real humans, conscious and awake/ aware 🌿💚🙏

I also have hope that we can take a step back and regain some of that connection we once had. Trees are wise. Thank you, Tony, for your warm comment!💚🌳

That is a very thoughtful question. I think every generation that loses its connection with nature is one generation further from what a "human" used to be. However, this can be easily restored with better education and access to nature, as your son has at an early age. I think the biggest challenge is restoring the connection we once had with nature, and since we are already progressing so much against nature, it's becoming harder every day.
