Roots Intertwined

Each bush and trees stands just a bit apart from the others, claiming its own space, its own right to the sun. But underground all the roots intertwine, and every plant walks the earth’s dark corridors with its fingers interlaced with those of another.

In what invisible ways are you connected with those around you?

One response to “Roots Intertwined

    In what invisible ways are you connected with those around you?…..
    The Divine Spark exists within each one of us, whether we display it or not. And within each one of us, our own divine spark recognizes the divine spark within each other. And that connection is like a web … To paraphrase a great Elder, Chief Seattle : “There is a Great Web of Life; and each of us is a thread, upon that Web…And, whatever affects one thread of the Web, affects the entire Web.” That is the way I feel connected – but not just to people … to every aspect of Creation!
