I am the Knowing Tree. I see all. I know all.
I see the humans.
I was once a human.
Now I am not.
It’s probably a good thing, though.
Humans are complex.
Emotions rambling and jumping around.
They love us trees but then they cut us down mercilessly.
As a human, I loved trees.
But I still didn’t do enough
To stop their pain.
As a human I loved nature.
I loved figuring out puzzles.
Yet why couldn’t I figure out the greatest puzzle of all;
Why?
Why what, you ask?
Why this?
Why don’t humans realize trees are just as alive as themselves?
I lied.
I don’t know all.
I don’t know the answers to these questions.
I guess I’m more of the Thinking Tree.
That’s okay, though.
I guess that’s one thing my human self and I had in common.
