Tall People

2023, oil on gessobord, 16" x 20"

"Some tribes of the First People or Native Americans refer to the trees that inhabit Mother Earth as the Tall People. The spirits of the Tall People can help us poor two-leggeds if we will listen and open our hearts to learn from them.   The Birch Tree gives us so much of itself for physical purposes and it gives us knowledge from its long experience here on Mother Earth.  It offers us shade when Grandfather Sun shines too brightly. A little shelter when rains fall from Father Sky. As a totem the Birch tree brings knowledge of ancient traditions and lost wisdom." Beverly Two Feathers
