and which remind me of the environment in which I am rooted.
The Mother Root
"Who would have thought my shrivel'd heart
Could have recover'd greennesse? It was gone
Quite under ground; as flowers depart
To see their mother-root, when they have blown;
Where they together
All the hard weather,
Dead to the world, keep house unknown."
George Herbert
Acknowledging my roots,
enables me to become who I am created to be.
Acknowledging my roots,
enables me to reclaim my personhood.
