Deeply Rooted

20190621_182638Pictured is the impressive visible roots system of a Moreton Bay Fig. Massive, sculptural things – and that’s only what you can see.

By way of contrast, a recent storm pulled up a shallow – rooted olive tree in my   backyard and deposited it over the clothes line.

It takes a storm to finds out what your foundation is like.

Like a tree, if we are not deeply rooted we are deeply rooted (that is not a circular nonsense, as I mean the second “rooted” in the Australian / NZ vernacular meaning, “screwed”or “f**ked”).

That means knowing what your mainly silent, often invisible core really is all about and where you have come from.

I hope that you are totally rooted in the more positive sense of the word…
