Heart of Oak

"Trees live out of themselves; they neither kill to eat -- like the creatures of land and sea -- nor do they toil for their food, but the All-Wise nourishes them in season, and their span outlasts all other living things in creation. Their wisdom runs deep as their roots in the earth, even as their branches reach toward heaven in exaltation of their Creator.

"Yes, they may be cut down, and when they fall, they die. But whether they are burned in the fire or used for building, their lives are given for those they serve -- either for warmth in the cold or to support the roof above ... so that even in death these giants of the land serve those who depend upon them. In this they are the emblems of the druid-kind, who seek to emulate these noble qualities in all our ways."
