The Beauty of OLEATRIE Karen Torbiak 2000 Her heart and soul belongs to the forest which has been her home for as long as she can remember Having bee raised by elves, sprites and fairies she is well versed in the wood lore that blesses her life as she cares for the plants and trees surrounding her In her fifteenth year she was set apart as guardian of the wood filling ancient prophecy and she was gifted then with blessings at the hands of the Elders Her name was give by the Elders calling her OLEATRIE meaning Moon Tree after the sacred tree in the center of the forest that casts silver beams of light off it’s leaves when the moon reflects it’s fullness Tall and straight like the willow walking with grace among the trees whose spirit sings out to her in welcome as leaves flutter in quiet greeting Her hair is auburn kept short around a face that shows serene contentment for all life of nature around her She is dressed as the elves with flowing green gown made by those who have fostered her all these years treating her with gentleness and love from pure hearts She smiles as she watches with excited joy two new spotted fawns frolicking on weak legs not yet having gained their full strength She giggles softly at the antics of a squirrel trying desperately to get his too heavy load of nut up a tree to safety She sits upon the bank of a quiet flowing stream and watches with loving interest the fish feeding in this early twilight evening All around her seems of peace and rest as evening advances and the animals come timidly down to drink from the cool stream Her gentle smile leaves her face as she considers the omens telling her that the dark time spoken of in legend is upon the earth Her heart weeps softly to think of the destruction that awaits the very forest where her soul blends in love with all around her Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |

Simply wonderful and inspirational... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
