Roots

Roots, such a simple word with so much content, context and connotation it carries. It can be light or grave, depending on what you're trying to achieve.

The words we use, the way we negotiate our own reality and integrate ourselves with others, and how we analyze our own role in the grand scheme of things, has been greatly influenced by our parents, the religion, culture, socio-economic background we had no way in choosing before being born. The principles our families have adopted also enforce certain rules, values and understanding within our beings. Eventually, when we venture into the world on our own, we build upon those, sometimes destroy them altogether and begin anew. Regardless though, all of our being is effected whether negatively or positively what we do.

So, roots, who could get away so far. All of a sudden, anything but roots is all I desire.
