"I have been finding myself in a space where I want to fly away. Be caught up with the wind and go where it takes me. Not landing or finding my footing due to the fear of breaking ground and rooting because rooting makes you sit and sift through the ground you find yourself in. Through the rocks and sand, while digging deep for water and nutrients and also grip to not fly away again. It feels like so much work for maybe a short lifetime...but you never know if you are corn for the harvest or bamboo till you push through the soil and do what you were meant to do, I guess...like dandelion..."
