Pine trees are the noble ancient ones of the tree kingdom. At this time of year, both Pagans and Christians pay tribute to the pine as a symbol of everlasting life. There are even songs dedicated to the trees as holiday decorations! Our early ancestors gathered their branches at the Winter Solstice to remind them that even in the bleakness of winter, life endures. Take a moment during your holiday festivities and look at your Yule tree, or any evergreen growing outdoors. Connect with its energy. We should be in awe of their simplicity and strength. These graceful evergreens we call pines were ancient before there was a human race. When the great mountains of our planet rose and the lakes and rivers were formed, they were here. They have withstood advancing sheets of ice, hostile armies, and countless seasons. They teach us that winter-whether it's the winter season or the winter we sometimes feel in our hearts-does not last forever.
