Kodama

Kodama

.

When you sit in the forest

Really really quietly

.

Becoming still and one with nature

.

You might be graced with her apparition

.

And ethereal shimmering woman

.

She is the spirit of an oak tree standing nearby, taking shape to wander in her forest for a while.

.

She looks gently upon the earth that nourishes her

The earth that brings the leaves of her tree alive

And helps it to bear fruit

.

A divine union of spirit and Gaia

.

A celebration of life

.
