Cedar is her Name


her hair she wore as earth armor
protective energy within each strand
and also it did guide her
to the treasures of our land
the strands are kin with thuja plicata
a noble tree for sure
together they
hold sacred space
endearing to our human race
~

this is where i found my inspiration for her hair:




so sorry it is out of focus!

    I hope not mistaken, the photo was taken a few months ago, but not if it is the same tree ...
