“Some trees are too deeply rooted to move … And if they are uprooted, they will die…”
“Vitally, the human race is dying. It is like a great uprooted tree, with its roots in the air. We must plant ourselves again in the universe.”
“When I am most deeply rooted, I feel the wildest desire to uproot myself.”
“The more you move, the stronger you'll grow, not like a tree that can be killed if you uproot it.”
“it is the way that all girls who only know one boy move. Centered as if the love that boy feels for them anchors them deep as a tree's roots, holds them still as the oaks, which don't uproot in hurricane wind. Love as certainty.”
“The tree on the mountain takes whatever the weather brings. If it has any choice at all, it is in putting down roots as deeply as possible."---Each New Day”
