Tree Spirits



I was sitting in the kitchen looking out the picture window. I have spent hours there watching birds, squirrels, the occasional deer and the trees. One particular tree always gets my attention. An American beech with a healing wound at the base of the trunk. And suddenly there it is: a perfect woman's face, flowing hair and a beautiful serene look. If there are tree spirits then this is surely a manifestation of one. I have loved this tree from the first day I saw it. I have hugged it. (Yes, I am an unrepentant tree hugger, literally on both counts.) What a treat. When I get the camera fixed I'll add her picture to this, if she can be photographed.
