  2. tomorrow i will dins my roots, i will meet him in a cafe, he will tell me about myself, i hope, although the branches know more about the tree than the roots, the roots just live underground, working hard, never questioning, the branches hold the leaves, the leaves ask the questions

  3. there are a lot of roots on a tree. I’m not sure what to say about them, but there are just a lot of roots on a tree. They go far down into the ground, and no one can be sure how far down, or what kind of people live in them. They would have to bee tiny people, to live in such a small space.

  12. Roots hold the world in place. Without roots, carrots would just be two leaves and an unsatisfactory dish. What would it be like if trees grew upside down? Roots in the air, waving as if they don’t care. I think it’d be pretty neat to see anti trees. But that’s just me personally, I’m sure digging up fruit would be a hassle.

  13. I was standing near the root. It was invisible, I kept tripping over it. The sunny forest was so hot… Sweat pouring down my face. The root was just another obstacle in my way.

  14. Soft, sweet earth hidden beneath the leaf litter. A woman, the sunflowers warming her back, uses her mint green gloves and a trowel with a red handle to break the earth, finding a bulb below the surface. She wistfully pulled it out and stood up, shading her eyes with her hand. She had to pack up everything, even her tulips that had yet to bloom. She was moving on.

  15. the root of evil never seemed so prominent as right now. i believe in rooting ourselves in good things, never to be tripped up by material objects or passions. i believe that rooting ourselves with good people is the key to life.

  16. At the root of it all. Strings like trees like ropes like teeth like floss like strings reach out and connect. Reach out and disappear in the sunlight below the surface. And they start at the root of it all. They start where I can’t see it.

  17. The root of al evil, the root of the troubles and problems that come to us and hurt the origin of it all is the exact moment of creation. Human folly whose brabches reach in direction of its roots to stifle them. The root of the problem is thus shown.

  18. roots. where you’re from. the place where you come from, the people you’ve been surrounded by all your life. what makes you who you are. your roots are what makes you what you are. they make you, you.

  19. The square root of 4 is 2. I hate math, with a passion. Most of us do. I suppose that makes me unoriginal, not so special. Does it make me any more interesting if I say I am actually pretty good at it?

  20. What’s the root of this problem? It seems no matter what I do, I’m in the middle of everything. I’ve never been the cause of this; what, or who, is? Why am I always the one to which everyone else comes with their problems? Why can’t they just figure it out themselves instead of pulling me like a rope in tug-of-war? I’m tired of this.

  22. A tree can only grow as tall or as strong as its roots. Roots that etch themselves into the earth. Roots that strain for dirt the way we strain for the sky. Roots are upside down trees, you know. I think roots are more beautiful than branches. Just saying.

  27. the thing that hold plants to the ground provids nutrients and water water climbs up the veins of the roots after using osmosis to diffuse across the membrane, without roots, plants would not keep soil intact and erosion would take over many rivers and water bodies.

  30. a root is connected to a tree and it goes deep down in the earth, maybe it goes all the way to the center of it. root is also a band, or the roots is a band. i like only one song, but sometimes when someone ask me if i like the band i say yes, even though I only know that one song, which is called the seed, which brings us to flowers.

  31. the tree’s root lifted the pavement in cracks. the children who rode bikes through the area had to stop and get off, walk over the bump, and then continue riding. but it was by far the place with the most character in the entire neighborhood. and even though it sometimes bothered the kids, it brought more interest than anger.

  39. I was really fascinated on how the roots would surround the trees in the park or at my school when I was younger. And I would touch them and think, where do they all go? Now I’m older and I know and i’m not so fascinated anymore.
