A Mindful Reflection on the Beauty of Tree Roots
By Alok Appadurai

Why are tree roots so majestic?
What about them captures our imagination?
Often have I stared at them in silent awe,
in a speechless coma from the simplicity of those curious extremities.
They appear to not move, yet, factually they are perpetually moving, explorers of the most tenacious type.
Stoic and wise, they hold space for me to sit and slow down.
Yet in reality, they are constantly growing, nurturing, and granting stability to the whole.
A balance.

Wishing you a mindful and peaceful day
Lee
