Rooting

The Root. The Base. The Bass. The rhythm and the rhyme. It's where we begin and where we're planted. Deep roots. The root of it all. Root causes.

Here I am - a bit dizzy, seeing spots or checks like a cowboy - because of my shirt.
The Roots - a very cool band!
I was thinking of my Celtic roots on both sides - my ancestors - the Celts of Ireland and the Celts of Brittany. The DNA of those people - sadness - but also that beauty & expression of life, through song, poetry, dance. And sometimes because of the bittersweetness of life - those who have gotten bogged down - literally - in their minds or ideas about how things should be and not allowing their true natures to shine. But how could they do anything other than what they did - no one can really step outside cultural boundaries - especially in their times. How fortunate that these times are so expressive - that we really don't have to sit and stew anymore - we can decide different and not be outcast from our peers. The recognition and acceptance of the roots helps for your own growth. Not one garden is "weed-free" - everything has it's place. No accidents - no regrets - only learning. Gardening - tending my roots - Is it 10 minutes yet - not sure.
