I wandered in the Grove today.
From within a circle of stones Mother Willow beckoned to me with sweeping arms.
"Come Child, rest, speak with me what you will."
She stroked me with her graceful, draping branches.
"Be at peace"
Raven flew down.
Cocking his head to fix me with his eye he said:
"Comfort I bring, and protection.
I travel between worlds.
Fear not when I am near"
So I rested at peace and talked with Mother Willow of many things.
Her counsel was gentle and wise.
Raven watched over us and the stones stood sentinel.
I was Blessed.
