Oak Tree

he leaned his forehead against the tree

quieted his thoughts

and 

waited

his heart melded with the trees heart

the tree let flow

hundreds of years of stories

stories  about the birds that came to nest and sing

the fungi and lichen it gave home to

the fairies that lived beneath its roots

the insects that live in its bark

the lad came to know 

those who rested in the shade of this tree

or found shelter from storm

 he saw the lion that napped in its branches

and so much more

he learned that a tree lives a big life

a deep life

a generous life

roots embedded in the earth

limbs dancing with the grace of the heavens

this lad returned as often as he could

to rest his forehead and heart

against the tree

Wand

with a wand

life is charmed

recently i found the above piece in sketch form

and changed it quite a bit

fun how if we create one day a piece looks a certain way

and if we create another day 

an entirely new inspiration!

 recently i came across this piece that i did as a child:

Scratch art

I forgot I drew things like this when i was a child

funny, my art has not changed all that much
