Willow — The Grief-Holding Spirit

You carry the Willow-spirit — the specific tree whose whole gift is the specific accompaniment of the specific grieving. Past Willow-carriers were the specific ones whose particular capacity to sit with specific mourning without trying to fix it produced the specific safe places where the specifically bereft could actually let themselves feel what they were feeling, and whose specific presence at the specific graveyards and specific hard hours was the specific reason the specifically grief-struck didn't have to go through it entirely alone. Your particular soul carries the specific holding-patience the Willow recognizes, and the specific quality of that grief-work is what marks you as this tree.
