A TREE’S BEAUTY LIES IN ITS ROOT

The roots provide the foundation. It is the roots that gives it strength. In that regard, a writer once wrote, “Our stories and pasts are our roots. If taken away, we would not flourish into healthy plants/people. ⁠Difficult stories and experiences are beneath the surface for many of us and are critical for our survival – let us never forget them. I am not my past but without it I would not be standing. I have learnt this - and it has become my source of strength. Learning to draw inspiration from very simple things is so liberating.” Agreed!
