#56- Rooted

The prompt this week -- "Rooted" -- is inspired by the name of Sunday Scribblings participant Gautami Tripathy's blog. It's a wonderful word; I love visual of tree roots sinking deep into the soil -- it's such a great metaphor for our connection to our land or culture. Write about your roots, or your rootlessness perhaps?

    I have two contributions to your rooted theme.
    1. The first is about my sense of having no roots. It is called "Freefalling" and you can finds it at http://image-verse.com/freefalling

    2. The second is a tribute to a giant redwood that has come urooted. It is called "Life Goes On" and it's found at http://image-verse.com/life-goes-on

    My roots are shared with a very sweet guy, whom I will call Lancelot. Not a fairy tale but a true story ...

    Enjoy ... there is a happy ending ... Life!

    Phew! I finally got through this. If the students think they get stressed during finals, they should remember that there's only one of me, and 85 of them!

    It will have a sister post as well...eventually....but I'm still working on that.
