~Roots....think about your roots?~ .... Have you ever heard the expression?.... Get back to your roots....Roots....Stop and think about this for a moment...Its rather interesting if you let your mind wander...What are your roots?...What made you what you are?....What touches your soul and takes to back to a memory or makes you feel like you belong or are connected...balanced?.... Its our roots...Like the roots of the earth... .I will share a carving that my father had made for me....It shows the lovely herb Echinacea and its life cycle....The roots of a plant are the foundation and the strength of a plant...it gathers nutrients from the soil....As we gather energy..and strength from our roots.....Roots of many of the herbs are used for healing....They are beautiful to me....Often tree roots look similar to the top of the tree with no leaves..... For us as humans... roots are our foundation as well....Our lives like a tree...growing...blooming...made whole and beautiful by its branches or members.... Let us remember that even though each branch is separate....we are all part of the whole.....My son Jon Nawrocki asked me how I fell in love with herbs....I shared with him a story of a young red headed girl walking through the woods with her father as he pointed out a few of the wild herbs and their uses...This experience must have planted a seed in my soul that took root....Too often we forget why or how we have come to the place in life....I feel that we should think about it and share stories with our young....Give them a piece of ourselves that they can hold in their heart....A part of the roots of ourselves and themselves which have grown into the tree that we call....life and family~tsht :) Ps. I LOVE you Dad...thank you for my roots...and I miss you so much...Jonnie Dee xoxo
