A stick. It has veins and branches( previously removed for transport). Although it has all of the things we have to survive, branches are the limbs, dents are the imperfections(which are needed to live )and stress from others. On a scientific level the stick is almost identical to the human. Only a small amount of its DNA is different from humans. But yet sticks are so much different. Do sticks sense things? I think not. (Not positive though). But yet sticks are so amazing. They have their own limbs, but they might also be the limbs of others. If you look at it really closely you can see how it grew. You can see the bad years and the good years of its life. You can see how it bent to get closer to the sun, like we move to get closer to our dreams. But still do sticks have emotions? Can they feel pain. Do they die? <emotionally. You can see where it was growing before it failed. Failed to survive. And through my perception this stick is just a stick. It does not have life or have any effect on me. But really it does. Without this stick the world is less. The tree that is from was effected. The air we breath is affected. Everything in this entire world is effected. Use your inductive reasoning. With out the stick the tree has lost a limb. Without a limb a tree has less leaves to produce oxygen with. With less oxygen in the air, we are affected.
No sticks were harmed in the making of this transcendentalist poem/blog.
