He is the embodiment of the Wildwood forest and a manifestation of Green Vegetation! He can be glimpsed in the branches of trees and the shades of old storytellings, songs, chants and dances.

I occasionally try to leave him out, just for a change. But, somehow, by the end of the day... There he is! Maybe he's there so more people can see him and become a little enchanted. He plants seeds in your heart. |
| Seeds of ideas, feelings and knowings about growings and nurturing, instead of wasting and wrecking and using and abusing, for therein lies the greedyments of our demise! | |
