Tom Dancer's Gift of a Whiebark Pine Cone by Mary Oliver.

This poem includes a meditative commentary. The poem was published in Oliver's collection Swan: Poems and Prose Poems (Beacon Press, 2010).

Here you may read about whitebark pine. I also include the Wiki entry which has a distribution map and more information about its ecology and threats.
