Root

This tree’s roots seem to be growing on top of each other. I imagine there is a body of knowledge about why tree roots grow the way they do and were I a different person, I’d probably have more curiosity about that. As it is, I can’t seem to get over the complexity of these structures – the “what” of them.

 My assumption is that there was a reason why this tree grew the way it did even though that reason is not at all clear to me. It's not the first time the world’s marvels stop me in my tracks, make it hard for me to move along to the next question, the “why.” And I’m OK with that. It sometimes feels like the “why” of something just erases the magic. I’m glad someone is focused there, just not me.

 So, I practice sitting with uncertainty (a key skill in these times) and looking for the beauty.
