Follow-up Rooting

There's also rooting around in the dirt, something practiced by my grandmother, my mother, my deceased sister-in-law, and my niece. With spectacular results.

That's another form of rooting I've never taken up, perhaps because of my truly aching back from early adulthood. But I sure enjoy what others help the earth make and then what they make of the results.

I am thinking of flowers tonight because my niece made a lot of high school students happy at their prom with corsages. Not just any old carnations, mind you, but beautiful mini-floral-works-of-art.

May they and she have happy dreams tonight. I root for them all and for the generosity of spirit that can make the earth sing.
