Wood Wizard

You see him, right? Tucked into the tree with a long beard and deep-set eyes, his mouth is making a little "o" shape and he has a diminutive nose. I've been walking by this tree for years but it wasn't until last night, after sitting to meditate on a nearby rocky outcropping, that I spotted him. Slowing down is good.

Maybe an Ent, watching you?

Thanks for the link Dinah, you always manage to find such interesting blogs!

Magpie, ha! Yes, like Ferris Bueller.

Thank you Wanda, and Kelly Jeanette, you're right, I hadn't thought of an Ent, but there used to be a wonderful Ent in the woods that fell down years ago and J and I still refer to the spot as "where the Ent used to be..."

Yes I see him. It was the time you slowed down and realized he was there. We all need to slow down and see the amazing things that are in front of us, instead we are in so much hurry we walk right by and never notice.
Thanks for sharing him.
