I often lose my thread when I'm trying to talk about something and a word or something I see completely distracts me and I shoot off at a tangent....ooh look at those shoes, I've been fancying some new converse for a while now I wonder where he got those from?
I need a root or maybe even 2 or 3, otherwise I just drift around aimlessly. Roots feed us they help us grow and they stop us falling over in the wind.
Some people's roots are all in the past: where they came from, how they grew up, who they were friends with. That's all very well if you want to be a big oak tree but I prefer being a potted plant: healthy, alive, green.....but portable.
I love where I've come from but I don't want it to be a chain I want you to be able to pick me up and move me around so I keep my main roots in the now....my wife, my music and my God.
