The stronger the roots, the more likely it is you weather the storms.
Without roots, you wither away and die.
The roots provide a sense of place and belonging
Order and predictability
The roots allow for movement, but will not ever be defined by them.
It’s the roots that provide strength and stability
It’s from the roots, that you receive your nourishment.
Without the roots, you will go where the winds blow
Aimlessly adrift.
Roots are not the thing that limit or hinder you, they are what reinforce you
They allow you to grow up and out into the world
The life blood of your journey
The thing that keeps you grounded.
And as much as you try to detach yourself from your roots, in reality, your roots will forever be rooted in you.
