This is just a test post. Yesterday about half of the posts

i made to the group did not go through at all. Must be some

glitch going on, so just checking to see if it is cleared

Choose the willow of the streams,

Choose the hazel of the rocks,

Choose the alder of the marshes,

Choose the birch of the waterfalls,

Choose the ash of the shade,

Choose the yew of resilience,

Choose the elm of the brae,

Choose the oak of the sun.
