Super?
We’ve all thought about it, what would I do with super powers? Flying? Super strength? X-ray vision? I know which one I would want. I would want to speak every language, but most of all I would want to speak to animals and trees. Just trees, not other plants. I want to talk to trees, because they have seen hundreds of years of human history. What would they tell us if they could talk. Imagine if the trees of the time of the founding fathers of
America were able to talk. We would have no more questions about history. Some people might wonder, “Why only trees, why not all plants?” Talking to other plants would be like talking to children. Nothing against that, but you always expect what you are going to hear, they don’t tell you anything new. There are few plants older than ourselves. But trees are not the only non-human organisms I would communicate with. Animals. What would they tell us? Their world is very different than ours. There is little room for luxury, only necessity. This is the world I would choose for reasons I could never explain. I’m sure this is This is the super power I would choose. It’s not exactly a “save the world” type of power, but it’s good enough for me.
