Tree Roots
Stay Grounded so you can Fly
Tree Roots
I aimlessly stroll through the woods, the branches snapping a beautiful melody beneath my feet.
I find that although in a physical sense, I feel quite lost,
in a spiritual sense, I’m finding more and more of my true self.
Disconnected from all technology… Disconnected from modern society… Disconnected from life’s vitality…
I become more
Connected with my true mentality… Connected with actual reality… Connected with my soul…
I feel compelled to stop for a moment, and lean against a tree.
As my skin melts against the bark in perfect harmony,
it sings an even more beautiful melody, and suddenly, I sink.
And suddenly, we feel in sync…
We become one, the tree, its roots, and I…
And I realize,
this tree wants to deliver a message to me…
“Be firmly grounded in your roots, for they will hold you place, will taking your to your furthest destination.” -Annie Mae Edwards
Isn’t it ironic that when our only navigation tool and our only search mechanism is ourselves…
our roots…
We suddenly end up finding our way… And we suddenly end up finding the answers we’ve been seeking…
Google doesn’t have all the answers…Instead of scrolling, try strolling.
