The Patriarch

Left side, nearer the center of the paddock

​The one standing tall in the heart of the field, likely the most “exposed” and majestic.

​The Persona: The “Great Oak” of the meadow. He provides the deep shade for the cows and holds the center of the land.

​The Narrative:
​”I am the Steward of the Field. I am the umbrella of the centuries, a cathedral for the cattle and a compass for the birds. While the seasons spin around me, I remain the unmoving center. Under my boughs, the earth breathes deeply, and time is measured only by the movement of the sun.”
