    Haha. I'm sure it would tell us about its experiences in life. Maybe it would say something like this:

    My roots run deep and I've been around long enough to see a lot of changes around here.
    The day-to-day doesn't change too much; birds fly and land on my branches and they nest in the little nooks they can find in my expansive network of limbs, ants crawl up and down my trunk, people admire me.

    Some days are different. People photograph my immense beauty, they climb on my big, old, raised roots or even into my lower branches. I can feel those who are anxious to escape the world and those who are curious explorers at peace with the world.

    And over time everything around me changes. The grass grows long and then is mown. Some smaller trees grow and then are taken away again. This makes me sad but it is part of the ever-changing tapestry of life, you know?

    If you're lucky to be around as long as an old fella like me you'll witness a lot too. Some of it will be wonderful and some of it will be awful, and pretty much all of it will be out of your control.

    I think you humans could learn a lot about by coming and being a tree for a while. There's so much to learn when we are silent witnesses to the ever-changing nature of life.
