I do admire that they are still standing even after some of the soil has been eroded away, but it's more than that. I suppose the tree (if it thinks) is always "aware" of its own roots, but WE (the rest of the world) aren't able to see those roots until they're exposed. Maybe, we think we know a tree when all we can see is the tall strong trunk and branches, but there's all this under the surface that is really what is keeping it tall and strong.

In reality, exposed roots weaken a tree, don't they? Or is it that you have come to admire how a tree with its roots exposed can still stand tall? Certainly when the roots or our pain remain hidden,especially from ourselves, it is difficult to heal.<br /><br />Please draw a new tree. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
