"A Chant to Honor the Trees"

Trees are very important to us all. They are the lungs of the Earth, purifying the very air we breathe as they
shade us and protect us.

When nights and days are balanced and halved,
The ancient Oaks sprout life anew.
Limbs of buds and leaves reach out
Collecting the breath of the mornings' dew
Summer will come and the Winter winds,
Turning and turning the leaves on their stems.
Then they must fall, but now in the spring
the twig is bound, and the Bud remains.

Hang the leaf from sturdy limb
Of Oak or Maple, or Ash, or Elm,
Praise the Oak God, the tree is him!
Thus will the trees live long and well.

I have to pass this on to my nephews. We went to the Gettysburg Battlefields for a visit with my two young nephews several years ago and they went from tree to tree hugging them. When my sister-in-law asked them why they kept doing it, they said that Aunt Fay told them that every old tree loves to be hugged.

Her expression was one of surprise and then the littlest one said that we always talked to the old tree by the stream. He told her it told him that it liked to be hugged.

Funny, she never discussed this with me.
