Found a book´te other day , " Stories from the Amber Coast " given to me by a friend , 1996 and amongst other things they've written in big letters " NEVER FORGET YOUR ROOTS ".
What is it about ROOTS? What's the fuss about ? Are roots important? Is it important to remember your roots?
To be honest this phrase annoys me.
Why should I ? I want to scream out in protest. I am MORE than my roots. My roots have helped create me and helped me grow , helped me become who I am today , true.
There's a lot about roots that I don't like.
I don't like the idea of being fixed in one place. Rooted .I am to be rooted , then let me be rooted in the INFINATE, not in soil or background , or geneology, or family patterns.
People wax on lyrically about roots. I don't get it . What is it about roots ?
Saw that the pot of marigolds on the balcony was covered with black creepy crawlies . Cut them all off and sprayed it with lavender water and covered the soil and stubs with slices of garlic .
I don't know what made me do all that . The witch in me . Funny .
