Family Tree

Family Tree

I am knowledge, guidance, and benevolence

I am generosity, kindness, and nurturance

I am acceptance, happiness, and spirituality

I am intelligence, logic, and faith

I am loyalty, gentleness, and stability

I am adventure, companionship and unbridled joy

I am fierceness, protection, and encouragement

I am the rapt joy of a story,

The craftsmanship of carpenter’s hands,

And a pat on the shoulders.

I am sensuality, partnership, and Love

I am wise counsel, steadfastness, and a challenge to succeed

I am the joy of a child, the wisdom of a garden, and a magical laugh

I am earthy wisdom, a force of nature, and bubbling exuberance

I am pride, admiration, and respect

I am the great remembrance, a conversation at Samhain, and honor

I am the silence of the stones, the sound of the stream, and a grove of oaks

I am clear sight, the awareness of the seasons, and the curiosity of the universe

I am milk on the stoop, a dance in a circle, a broom by the fire

I am acceptance, forgiveness, and belonging

I am the waters of heaven, the ever burning fire, and the keeper of the stars and silver wheel

I am perfect knowledge, protector of the wild, and the shinning one of eloquence

I am the family tree

Come shelter in my branches

Be nourished in my roots
