(40,656 posts)grow up here. We had a forest fire that was the size of Manhattan and Chicago combined. I remember wondering why I felt like shit the whole time it was going on and it struck me that I was feeling the trees dying. I could FEEL it. So did a lot of other people. When the fire was put out with rain and human effort the feeling went away.
This isn't a humanized response to me. I have read papers where plants have been used in tests for this very purpose and they found that they did communicate. Plants and trees. I think we're all connected. When someone suffers at some level we all do.
I love the Earth.
