Summary:
Trees are highly evolved humans or is it the other way around?

Out walking today in the forest 

I ran my hand over the rough bark of a tree.

I walked for another hundred metres or so 

and still felt a tingling sensation on the skin of my hand.

 

Was I imagining it or was there still some feeling there?

 

In the quiet,two questions arose.

 

When you touch something how long before you lose the feeling?

 

When something touches you how long before you start your healing?

 

Perhaps the tree was talking to me in its own quiet  secret way.Letting me know,that my questions were not just about the sensation of touch.

 

Tomorrow I’ll pass that tree and smile.
