The Root definition:

“the part of a plant which attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically underground, conveying water and nourishment to the rest of the plant.”

I have become very fascinated with looking at the roots of trees. Especially, when they are coming out of the ground in the most unlikely places. For example the ones on this trail. How is the tree still standing? I guess these roots have dug in and established a strong foundation, so it can withstand whatever elements it has to face. We all need to remember our core/roots that make us unique. It can bring us through difficult times. Plus, bring a smile to our face just at the right moment. Maybe others don’t understand you, but you should appreciate your roots that made you an awesome person.
