Yggdrasils Wizened Sprite

Every tree has its sprite, a living deity ever vigilant of its needs. Great Yggdrasil ancient tree of life holds her sprite within her wending, winding arms; a caress of gratitude for its warrior guardian. An ancient sentinel guarding the wisdom of Gaia’s mind, needs a soldier; this recruit, at the ready, studies “The Art Of War” with considerable vigilance. No axe will ever release this tree from Mother Gaia.

M.L., Very prophetic for the gallows. A forest of trees and their few guardians. And wise to beware the ash with an axe. -Richard

Loved this M.L. Trees give us so much. They clean the air and give us oxygen, they give us shade, they give us fruit, they provide shelter for the woodland creatures, and they are so beautiful. Where would we be without them. Yet too many woodlands and rainforests are being laid waste. Great job here. God Bless, JB
