Dodona

 The wisdom of an oak tree runs deep, the history intimate.Perhaps you are familiar with how Absalom's hair led to his demise. Maybe you respect the oak because Zeus chose this mighty tree as his oracle, the centerpiece of the righteous. Based on the rustling of its leaves, priests would interpret messages from the gods. Most likely, though, you revere the oak simply due to the symbolic nature of its strength.Either way, never fail to recognize the way an oak tree reminds us not only to admire the splendor of its leaves or the tenacity of its trunk but to understand what's deeper, below the surface: roots connect--no--bond people. The natural ways in which someone is truly rooted to another, the tangle of souls intertwined, simply and completely.Here lies true wisdom.
