WiseBark: a Cambium Incantation


WhiteBark Matriarch
Old Growth Patriarch
Enter our Mind Field now
Old Growth Matriarch
WhiteBark Partriarch
Engage our Mind Field now

Like Pelican    Elephant    Whale
            Keepers of the Records of Time
Beings of eternal wisdom
            The WhiteBarks are part of this tribe
With twisting twirl and spiral dance
           What history You have seen
Lacquered in lichen    torched by lightning
           Such eternity links every cell
Perched by birds    scared by fires
           Scratched by claws of great Bear
You awaken within us    lessons remembered
          Constellated in your wise bark core
Entwined           intertwined
          Your sweet nuts caviar for carnivores
Cambrian wisdom       ancient and kind
          Resides in your cambium core

WhiteBark Matriarch
Old Growth Patriarch
Enter our Heart Mind now
Old Growth Matriarch
WhiteBark Partriarch
Engage our Heart Mind now
