Old Tree Spirit
An ancient tree with a face...and a heart......slumbering until the sun retires, the moon rises and the breeze blows...when all trees speak to one another in their own language while the loud creatures of the daylight hours are restful and silent. So is it a tree or is it an Ent? Wake him and find out if you can!
When I walk past old or ancient trees and see a face, it always stops me in my tracks...why is that? I saw this o9ld timer along the boundary of a farmers field....two other old trees were close by. There are some interesting legends, myths, history, and stories surrounding trees....some good information and unique points of view can be found by reading the following blogs and articles:
