The root cause of all the issues. Roots are so important. When most plants sprout, they send out roots first. The foundation is the origin story. The soil, the climate, the other beings that surround new life. When I saw this tree with roots exposed by the foundation eroding away beneath her, I thought about how important that foundation was for her continued growth and health. Then I thought how that applies to me as well. There are endless signs and messages in nature. Forest bathing allows you to slow down and contemplate them and how the Earth is speaking to you. To us. The root cause is the heart of the matter. To know yourself, return to your roots.
