Maybe Tolkien Was On To Something

Writer's picture: Clint HaugenClint Haugen

The tree’s wave hi to me,

as the wind rocks them back and forth.


Just how alive are these trees?

How far down does consciousness go?

I’m the king of rhetorical questions

and of pointless poems,

but really,

how far down does consciousness go?

Dogs seem so child-like to me.

They interpret reality through different senses then us,

does it make sense they would have a different level of consciousness?

Just how far down does it go?

All the way?

Into everything?

Maybe…

Imagine

if we treated every ‘living’ thing

with the respect we treat ourselves.

Maybe,

that's exactly what we should do.
