#Green is for elves..., for Scottish moss and rain-soaked rolling lands of the Celts, Our People.
:-) Green ~ Meetings With Remarkable Trees book, by Thomas Pakenham: "With this astonishing collection of tree portraits, Thomas Pakenham has produced a new kind of tree book. The arrangement owes little to conventional botany. The sixty trees are grouped according to their own strong personalities: Natives, Travellers, Shrines, Fantasies, and Survivors....Common to all these trees is their power to inspire awe and wonder.., a lovingly researched book, a moving testimonial to the Earth's largest and oldest living structures."

KORU FERNS
Ross Priory, Loch Lomond
The moon.., I found her in the South
The sun on the lowlands golden cast
But my heart o'erflows in the Highland hills
My spirit soars as I touch my past
Bereft of mountains, wind and streams
And heather of the softest hue
Moss like rich velvet to the touch
I ached for what I never knew
My voice belies my Highland blood
With southern sounds intone
But as I climb and scan the brae
I heartfelt know it as my own
Highland women fought and lost
Foremothers wept with voices hushed
Driven from their native land
Gave up their homes with spirits crushed
O women, lay aside your hurt
For daughters of these mountains must
Reclaim their spirit borne through time
And held for them, a sacred trust
O Sisters of the Highlands fair
Rekindle now the tiny flame
It burned through all the bitter wars
Is burning still for you to claim.
