OAK TREE hat

Since the earliest ties between humans (all generations) and oaks, a very strong symbolic image of oaks has developed, in which these trees have become associated with longevity (deep roots), strength, stability, endurance, wisdom, power, justice, healing and honesty Solidity: the quality or state of being firm or strong in structure (oak tree). The quality of being reliable in character, moral firmness, validity, truth and certainty. The Oak Tree A mighty wind blew night and day. It stole the Oak Tree’s leaves away. Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark until the Oak was tired and stark. But still the Oak Tree held its ground while other trees fell all around. The weary wind gave up and spoke, How can you still be standing Oak?” The Oak Tree said, I know that you can break each branch of mine in two, carry every leaf away, shake my limbs and make me sway. But I have roots stretched in the earth, growing stronger since my birth. You’ll never touch them, for you see they are the deepest part of me. Until today, I wasn’t sure of just how much I could endure. But now I’ve found with thanks to you, I’m stronger than I ever knew. Johnny Ray Ryder Jr
