Who Is The Green Man?
Spirit of all things green and growing
Spirit of all things wild
Spirit of all things un-mowed, un-chopped
Spirit of grass in the cracks of the sidewalk and
moss on the shower door
Spirit of the untamable
Spirit of the wind fall tree in your path
Spirit that challenges the sad and timid spirit
Choose to surrender or
Embrace him, call him brother, lover
Dare to dance with him on the longest night of the year!
Dare to become the Green Man!
Carol Carlisle 12/11/13

Beautifully written Carol. I too have a Green Man and have long loved the image for its rich history and symbolism.
