What would a tree see, hear, feel, smell, taste, touch?

What would a tree say or do?

What would a tree be proud of?

What would be important to it?

What would make it happy or sad or afraid?

Speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
Trees are what everyone needs.
Tree of Wonder, Tree of Miracles,
that which gives us all life--
life and beauty, wondrous and rare.
A whole hidden world bustles and thrives.
How much is beauty worth?
Life multiplies again and again,
mile after mile in the fresh morning breeze,
in this one tree, this glorious place,
home to many, many marvelous lives.
All living things depend
on one another, on what you do today.
Grow a forest. Protect it. Treat it with care.
Plant a path to peace, our hope, and our future.
Little things will make the difference.
Like a sturdy tree against a mighty wind--
a canopy of hope will reach the sky.
