I approached the Eagle Oak at the same time as another, a pleasant lady, focused on her mission, who told me she loved the tree and it spoke to her; she's right, they will in you listen. Not wanting to impose I walked on, returning sometime later to share a moment or two with this ancient forest dweller. The Oak is set in over bearing and dark coniferous woodland, the straight evergreens towering over its gnarled form, the air sticky sweet with the scent sap, a heavy place and yet a peaceful, meditative place. To sit a while, as a break in the clouds let the Sun shine through, was a pleasure.
