Someone asked me once “If you found roots, would you recognize them?” My answer came through me, without even a detour through my rational mind; “You don’t find roots. You grow them.”
Some trees grow roots that are deep and other trees have shallow roots.
Some trees have roots that grow fast and other trees have slow growing roots.
There roots support the life they live.
I am on the other hand am curious to know “what kind of live you want to live?”
The roots you grow will match the life you choose.
Take care,

Thank you for the thoughtful response.
Last fall, my son planted some apple seeds (he was insistent in the face of a lot of doubt.) In the spring, his coffee can sprouted several weeds and two little apple trees. My brother planted one of them in his yard, and put the other in a pot to be transplanted later. The one in the yard is now about two feet tall, with little branches, and leaves that reach out. The one in the pot is still a single stem about four inches tall, its leaves almost closed. It doesn’t look much like an apple tree.
I guess I don’t know what kind of tree I am yet…I’ve lived my whole life in one pot or another. I want to grow down into the earth, to spread out, reach up, and gather nourishment from the soil and the sun. I want to plant my boy where he can grow tall and strong. I’m curious, eager to see what kind of fruit we each bear.

Of love and understanding.
the fruit you bear will be that of compassion and acceptance.. The one good thing about growing in a pot most of your life is the ability to be moved around with ease. That makes for a very Adaptable person. You are able to understand and reach out to others, not just to help or make them feel better. But to show them that you have lived it and they can survive it…
Now is the time to plant yourself.. I love how you said that.. I often think of myself as a transplanted tree.. I just need lots of water now..
Bury those roots deep into the earth baby.. Let that sunshine and the rain nourish you.. All sunshine will burn. sometimes we need the rain to make the days even brighter..
Light and Love.. {a nice rain shower now and then.}

Your comments always make me smile from the core.
I have that same feeling you talked about in another entry. that I wont be where I am forever. But I am here now, and this is where my future will meet me (wherever it leads me.)
Lets both dig in where we are and see what grows.
Love and light back.

It seems I try to “dig in” maybe some pretty flower will grow.
I keep getting pulled up and that starts the confusion and then the sadness.. I am doing my best honey..
I gladly accept the Light and Love.
You just paid me the best complement..
I make you smile from the core.. Now my day has gotten better.

I guess the trick is to stay put long enough for them to grow. On some level, I think I’m afraid to grow them, because I might be transplanted anytime. I have to get it in my adult head/heart that now I have a choice in the matter.
