Being the Knowing Tree

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.

    “When you’re living on your knees you rise up.”

    Some people are on their knees because

    They’re bowing down to him.

    Some people are on their knees because

    They’re hopeless.

     

    Here, take my hand.
