Can a tree express feelings?

The second day of class, a normal day as other in the faculty, we sat in our places and waited for the teachers. But, how was it develop?

The first thing that they request us was to leave all that we were doing, we must stop for a moment, and we only have to take a piece of paper, a pen, and an overcoat, in case that we were cold. And everyone asked: Where we are going? Are we going out of class?, Do we have class?

We went to the playground of the faculty, and we sit around of a big tree that was in the middle. They told us to represent what that tree transmits us, by drawing, writing, how we wanted. The main idea was to express what it made feel us. In addition, they allowed that we get close, feel, touch the tree…

Once the ten minutes finished, we returned to the class and we distributed the chairs in a circle form because it was a good way to see all classmates and allow us to discuss better together. We began by expressing ourselves and we also started to know the different perspectives that the same tree could provide to each person. Some points of views were similar, however, the majority were different. Due to this, the ideas, feelings, and opinions connected with the tree gave a subjective perspective, so different to what we see in this tree with “objective perspective”.

 And, regarding the question that we did at the beginning: “Do we have class?”. Yes, of course, we did an amazing and relaxing class, where we got mutually listen, knowing other ideas, learning to respect these ideas and to be more tolerant, developing new concepts, etc.
