Where Roots Meet Light: The Journey of Becoming
The depth of the roots is our story,
The foundation upon which all growth begins.
Stretching in all directions, they seek nourishment,
To keep them alive, to support us.
Some roots run deep, formed in the soil of childhood,
From there, countless branches spread out,
New stories, new experiences,
Each shaping how we see the world,
How resilient we are in the storms,
How we survive when scarcity strikes.
The depth of the roots is our story,
Meant to be reflected on, contemplated, and remembered.
But it is the Light of the present moment,
That truly fuels our growth.
Leaves reach out, absorbing the sun—
Our inspiration, our creativity.
It’s who we become, the fruit we bring forth,
And no matter the story behind the roots,
We can still thrive, grow, and expand.
Life begins as a seed,
Planted in soils rich or poor,
Always seeking to expand, grow, and transform.
Whether the roots run deep or shallow,
It is the light we seek, the growth we choose,
That defines the branches we stretch toward the sky.
For within every seed is the potential,
To rise above, to thrive,
To become more than the soil from which it came.
And no matter the story held in the roots,
Life continues, reaching for the Light.
Blessings, Valerie
