<center>  </center><br></br><br></br> <div class="text-justify"> My story began ten years ago when a transport loaded with toxic waste lost control, rolled down a steep mountain, and spilled its entire load on a coffee plantation. That site was quite far from civilization, which made it easy for the authorities to declare an environmental disaster in the area and force the farmers to look for other land. That's why nobody knew what happened a little later... In the first days after the accident almost all the bushes lost their leaves, the fruits fell to the ground and the death of those plants seemed inevitable. But after a month, with the arrival of the first rains, a part of the ground was covered with a viscous matter, a kind of mud that moved imperceptibly to where there were still some dying plants. That mud had life, it was an intelligent matter. When it reached the few surviving plants, only four or five, it merged with them, making them green again as in their best times. But there was a different detail, the fruits did not ripen and fell to the ground when they had barely grown a little... <center></center> After a while the old plants began to transform, the trunk became thicker, they developed articulated structures similar to human legs and arms, and the end of the trunk was topped by a kind of flat head. Every day those beings became more evolved, they could move and manipulate objects. And they had developed the ability to communicate telepathically. The people of the area soon began to tell stories about shadows moving across the mountain. There were several locals who claimed to have had contact with strange beings made of wood, sort of walking trees that moved as if they were human; they said that they were friendly, harmless beings that could hear themselves in thought... One afternoon, talking to my grandfather on the cell phone, he began to tell me those stories. He was sure that there was some truth in all that and that it was not just the fantasies of idle people, as some people claimed. He invited me to go and find out... I didn't think much about it, my curiosity was too great. Before we finished our conversation, I agreed with my grandfather that I would go to visit him to talk more about it. After a twenty-hour bus ride, I arrived at the town where my grandfather lived. It had been many years since I had been there and I was delighted to find myself again with those landscapes of high green mountains and large coffee plantations... The second day I was there, my grandfather took me to the house of a man almost his age, he was one of the people who had had contact with the wooden beings, as they were called in the small community. To my surprise he told me that if I wanted I could see them, they would be interested in communicating with me. The three of us set off and after about two hours of climbing the mountain we arrived at a small forest, we sat down to wait and to pass the time we drank coffee from a small thermos that my grandfather's friend was carrying... <center></center> Suddenly I heard a voice in my head, telling me not to be afraid. I looked to the side and there was the figure, its appearance was very strange, a wooden body, tall, thin and with a kind of head without eyes or visible mouth. But despite its unusual appearance it did not arouse fear. And I could hear it clearly in my mind... In a few minutes his voice let me know that they were also surprised, they had no idea why they had appeared, they did not know if they had a mission to accomplish; they did not know if they should continue to live hidden or, on the contrary, if they should seek a rapprochement with us. He expressed his fear to me, he had many doubts about how we would receive them and he was interested in knowing my opinion... I felt very committed and decided to be as sincere as possible... I told him that our species had difficulties to accept what was different, that it could be extremely intolerant with any form of life that it did not understand. So it could be a risk for them to meet people who might consider them dangerous... For the time being I recommended that they remain hidden, keeping contacts with small groups... Maybe later when more people knew them they could advocate for them, support them, and attest that they did not represent any danger for humans... That being made me feel his disappointment, perhaps he expected a more hopeful answer... However, before saying goodbye, he expressed his gratitude for my sincerity... If at any time you are in a mountainous area, where there are coffee plantations, it is probable that you will have contact with some of these beings. They are out there wanting to establish contact with us. Do not be afraid of them since they have no interest in harming us, rather they are waiting for the most opportune moment to give us their collaboration...
