I AM WILLOW

          I am Willow.  I thirst for knowledge and understanding.  I drink deeply of the life-giving waters of Mother Earth.  I transpire my knowledge into the air.  My knowledge is a cloud of mist around me.

          I am Willow.  I am the female aspect.  I follow Sister Moon.  The waters of Earth flow and sway--rise and fall--to a monthly cycle.

          I am Willow.  I flow and sway.  My branches rise and fall.  I am not rigid.  There is nothing in me to break.

          I am Willow.  Come and sit beneath me.  Let my knowledge fall on you.  Let my understanding cling to you.

          I am Willow.  Learn to dance with the winds of Life.  Learn to sway and curtsy.  Learn to accept and flow.
