Roots 1 comment

17 Aug 2005 @ 16:53, by swanny Where Have the Roots Gone? There was a big old tree in the yard of my childhood home. I watched the many years as it grew in age and splendor. It gave an "earthy" quality to the home and yard, the home and yard of my youth. There where other things there too, that seemed to center my universe, the cracks in the walls, the dirt and dust, the smells of spruce and flowers and fresh bread. Gone, they're all gone now, replaced by things seemingly less comforting but more .....? "new". Have they simply been replaced for the sake of "newness" and what is the advantage of newness. It is not like a comforting shoulder to cry on or a dear and old tree or friend to hug. Where are the roots that have been so systematically erased and cut from the tree of my being, for without them I seem to float aimlessly in a groundless Universe, floating, floating, floating and never arriving. Arriving .... arriving, when will we arrive, when will the world stop spinning and once again reveal to us our "home." By A. G. Jonas (c)2005 Earth
