So, Barbara Walters insists she never asked this question, but if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

I would be a Box Elder (acer negundo, native to the west from Canada to Mexico), because the only time I quaffed a bowl of ayahuasca to find my spirit guide, I spent more than 18 hours sitting in the shade of an ancient Box Elder which kept me shaded, comfortable, and calm. Alas, no jaguar god led me on a post vomit my guts out spiritual journey during that chemically induced experience many years ago, (I was with new age friends, the flow and glow crowd, in mountain forest outsid of Quite, Peru at the time). However, one person came back after twenty four hours claiming to be an ant colony.

If you say you'd be a stury Oak you must be specific: a Red Oak, White Oak, Gamble's Oak, etc. :biggrin1:

Which brings up Hepburn, who told Walters, "I'm like a tree."
"So, I asked, 'What kind of tree?' " (an oak), but "no one remembers that."

Weeping willow

I love how the branches stretch wide and hang down

but i also like:-

Silver birch

The bark is like a symbol of extravagance and royalty

but also :-

Giant Redwood

Tree of the wise, among the oldest standing so timeless and being so big and strong

OMG....forget it, i can't just be a tree...i need to be a forest
