The trees are speaking to us.

The trees speak and each has their own voice.

Maybe it's just because I have watched the movie "Wanted", where the whole premise of the movie is that all of the decisions being made are because of a weaving loom skipping in its up and down motions leading to a binary code that gives a name of someone who had to be eliminated.

Where that idea failed, was that the binary code translated to english.

When I think of linguistics, I would expect to look for patterns but a sense of randomness. I see that when I look at the common average tree.

But what are the trees saying? How are they saying it?

The concept starts with the "tree of life". It's a tree that is for lack of a better word, perfect. In stories of people that have seen heaven (or their idea of heaven, such as the Elysium fields) there is an idea that everything looks perfect with this tree.

I postulate that the tree is saying something really simple. Like "I am" or "alive" or "amen".

Now look at a tree. Look at the one which has no more leaves on it. The branches that jut off randomly really don't see that random. It's like there is some kind of logic to it.

Also consider if you've lived near the tree, how that tree has changed from year to year. What does it look like it's doing, if it reflects your life, what is it saying about your life.

If we consider that the tree is a living object, how is it any different than the birds, squirrels, cats and dogs? Have you ever understood a dog or cat? Owners who have one, tend to know what a certain bark or mew means.

But how? It's not like we are communicating with them with similar words. Instead, we assimilate the patterns and apply them to actions.

Well, can't we do the same thing with a tree?

Something to think about.

Also, I propose that evergreen trees are singing. Think on that as well.
