Nature Walk to talk with the Trees of Life

I'll be taking a 3 hour hike this morning to talk with the trees and get their feedback on what is the most fruitful direction to take, if I want to be a scirel diplomat.  I'm assuming there is a massive amount of wisdom in their veins - I'm hoping I can be quiet and still enough to hear it.

Diplomacy is mostly about listening, right?  And not getting angry.  And tolerating - I mean respecting - the other side.  Or maybe, it's about not even seeing 'sides' - Maybe I need to go out there this morning and say:

"Hello, fellow trees.  Yes, that's right.  I'm one of you.  See?  I have veins, too.  I move liquids up and down my body, too.  I feel the wind, too.  I reach for the sun, too."  

Perhaps I will discover we are the same in so many ways, it's hardly possible to see two different beings, two sides.
