The creativity of the walking tree

[Tortue]

I got a concept from a tree, I know, I tried to turn it into words.
------------------------------------------

The original tree in the plain was bored.
He decided that it wanted to explore its environment.
It sent parts of itself away with the help of the good wind  , animals and soil.
These parts of itself became trees and the original tree could explore
more of the plain through them.

Some parts flew far away beyond the horizon and landed into distant plains.
Amazed by the discovery of new plains, the original tree and the tree in those plains sent at their turn parts of themselves for the original and them to experience.
Those new parts flew very away far beyond the horizons, they landed into new soils.
However, they couldn’t turn into trees.

The original tree pondered the question during very long time.
Out of desperation it asked to its friend the Sun for advice.
The Sun could see from above anything and  beyond any horizons.
The Sun told the original trees that far distant plains are in different environments.
Change need to be made to the part s for them to grow into trees.

The original tree reached a AH HA moment and got the idea to change the design
of the parts of itself , the new parts will adapt to the environment they land to.
This idea reached all the trees instantly because all the trees are really one tree
Exploring the environment from various angle.
The trees in the far distant plains sent parts of themselves that could adapt to new environments with the cooperation of the soil , the sun and the minerals.

The experience worked the original tree was once again amazed .
Not only the original could explore very distant area , it could now create various varieties of trees.
The news reached all the trees, they started to group themselves into families of interest and started to work on creative project, some will work on creating leaves of various shapes, some groups preferred working on changing the colors of these leaves.
Some groups worked to create smaller version of themselves, they will be known later under the name of bushes.
The bushes themselves create new version of them because of their perspective they could pick up information that the bigger trees couldn’t.
They mixed themselves with flowers and soon with long experimentation they created the first fruit.
The news reached all the trees because all the trees are one tree, exploring its environment from various angle.

Once again, the trees grouped into groups of interest and they started to create all sort of fruits of different, shapes , colors and tastes.

Blessed by a boundless and limitless creativity the original tree  sent parts of itself into the deep seas to explore there and there the creativity feast continued.

I like that I had the pleasure of meeting a very old tree once it was the the heartwood of a forest of sitca spruce that grew in a bogland As the tree had grown tall the bog could not support its weight and so it had fallen its branches then submerged in the peat  had grown into trees the proocess had continued untill a forest of the one tree was created. Even at the young age I stumbled upon this ancient life I knew it had power and wisdom a lifeform that had easily been alive for a thousand years. I felt gifted to have been able to meet it. I went back to it 10 years later and still that peace and power permeated the area of the heartwood. It instilled in me a respect for the life of trees and forever changed my outlook on reality.
