Searching For Roots
“As I dig for wild orchids
In the autumn fields.
It is the deeply bedded root
that I desire,
Not the flower.”
- Izumi Shikibu, Japan (974-1034)
The strength of a tree is defined by its roots [paraphrased Rabbi Simon Jacobson] "A man is a bumdle of relations, a knot of roots, whose flower and fruitage is the world" - Ralph W Emerson, 1803-1882 [Poem 1 cited via collective wisdom initiative] Image via TrekEarth (c) Charlotte Segurel
