WRING YOUR ROOTS

Sometimes our roots just show.  Most of the time in fact, our roots show even when we think they are clothed in "new shoes".   Funny, we think we are all so different from each other yet we all have our roots firmly planted in this Earth, brothers and sisters of this planet.  

Well enough of that metaphor.  You get the point.  I think it is a good thing to move forward, advance, change up, what ever we want to call our personal progression through life.  However, recognizing the truth of our beginnings is what gives us the trajectory forward.  Humans, each and every one of us, have our roots clinging to our Earth, our starting point.

My daily challenge is to rise to the occasion presented by the fact that I am, indeed, above ground, ambulatory, and can feel the sun on my face.  Such an opportunity each day brings the desire to "do something" even if it is to recognize the gift of life.  Spring is here (maybe) and daffys are in bloom.  Birds are out in force looking for a nesting site and seed catalogs are in the mail.  New life.  It's everywhere.  Revel in it.  Rub your face in it.  Sink your hands in the soil.  Smell that freshly rain-washed dirt.  Uuummmmm!  Wiggle your roots and get out into the fresh air! Love each day.  Enjoy each moment.  You will never get it back.  It's yours, this moment.  So wring the joy out of each and every one.
