  1. Roots rising from the barren, ice-cold soil. They were growing higher and stronger, grasping my ankles and knees and hips and chest, reaching for the hollow of my neck. That’s when I knew I couldn’t take his love anymore.

  2. “Daddy, Abby said her mommy said I have bad roots. What does she mean?”
    I saw him stare into the distance, right where the greensplattered forest ends and her golden meadow begins, and chuckle. He looked down on me, smiling his strange lopsided smile, and picked me up on his shoulders so smoothly that I could have easily been a bag of salt & vinegar chips.
    “Don’t worry about it sweetie,” he whispered. “As long as I water you enough, you’ll be perfectly fine.”
    Sometimes I regret not understanding his words until it was too late.

  3. the root of all evil. that money.
    he had wanted to get his hands on it for ever
    he had the greed that surpasses all understanding
    he would kill for that treasure if he must
    and with all those around who were

  4. roots pulled up, my feet left the ground as i reached for the sky and i pulled and i pulled to detach myself from this unbearable feeling of being attached to earth. i loathed gravity for trying to keep me still. i wanted the sky, i wanted to float up and attach myself between the moon and the sun, to become a star, to be light as a cloud and laugh at the ant-sized people below.

  5. trees have roots. the things than wind under the grass and cement, disrupting foundations and structures. there are other kinds of roots too, ones that are formless. they are what you identify with, the things you remember from childhood. you can’t associate an image with them but you cam always see them in your mind.

  6. He was there, he nestled in my core.
    He stirred something deep inside myself and let me grow apart from it all.
    Depriving me of my roots, cutting them off one by one.
    The tight binds that have so heavily implanted deep within me.
    He finally set me free…

  7. Foundation. That thought spread (like a tree’s root system would, eh?) to family, friends, things and people which keep us anchored to who we are and who we will be. Our very foundation of our person.

  9. the beginnings of flowers and trees and huge worldly things. Beginnings that are small and frail and too thin to exist, but do. They give birth to light and air and colour, roots sustain and allow nourishment and life.

  10. My family has interesting roots. We all started when my great grandmother was picking roots in the Australian outback. She was encountered by a large savage fellow who proceeded to root her against her will. This is where our clan was born, and we continuing rooting for a better future for our young.

  12. The root of it all is that I am so uncertain…
    It is like a void that cannot be filled,
    It is the incomplete root of the matter,
    Not in an organic way, but in an intangible fear of the unknowing kind of way.

  20. The root of all evil is money? I don’t think so. I think it is pride. Being proud of the things that money can buy. Money usually comes from achievements. Being proud of achievements. But if you aren’t proud of your accomplishments, where is the incentive to achieve?

  23. roots are on trees and roots give nutrients to the trees and the leaves. the root of all problems is the one that is never uncovered and the one that is left buried like a root.
    To solve your problems you need to speak out and say what you feel.

  24. the root of the problem was the fact that i care to much about what people thing. find it extremely hard to do what comes natural. i constantly find myself first analyzing what someone would think if i did “this” or how it would make me look if i did “that” and the root to that was wanting to be accepted. My biggest mistake.

  25. The beginning of everything. Where it begins. It can be the original, sprung from a seed, or it can be apart of something else, cut and replanted. It’s also a potato. Yummy potato. But when it comes down to it, you have to get to the root to solve the problem.

  26. The root of something can tell you who they are as a person or thing. A root. it’s something so incredibly simple, yet at the root of everything we find answers. Answers to the questions that keep us up at night. The questions that we are almost too afraid to answer because of our roots.

    “What are you looking for?” Gabriel asked.

    “His — ” Gabriel goggled. “If he keeps it in that old trunk, it probably doesn’t exist anymore.”

    “You’d be surprised. Old things were made to last.”

  29. Root is what is the base of all things that exist. Root is from where a tree originates. Without root there would be nothing. Blah blah blah.
