Original Ink Art using nib and ink from my series Women Are Like Trees
OAK:
We view the beautiful Oak as a strong, wise, safe and powerful tree. Her trunk is strong and her roots stretch deep below the Earth’s surface. She has a strong connection to her family, friends and the community. Oak is comfortable with where she is. She feels peace under the light of the moon and the glow of the fireflies. This place is her home. Oak is reliable and truthful. She will tell you how it is. Her powerful energy attracts others and brings people together. She resurfaces memories of home. Oak is not as open to change like the other trees. It is hard for her to leave a place that holds memories of her past. She feels peace when she is surrounded by those she loves. Oak reminds us that we should never forget where we are from and where our roots grow, but don’t be afraid to venture out and experience change. Home will always be waiting for you.
