  1. The roots in my hair are brown and the rest of my hair is brown because I’m trying to get down to my roots, trying to be myself, trying to figure who myself is. I think if I grow my hair out I’ll be able to look myself in the mirror and see the girl I was when I was a kid, back when I lived at home, back when my family was the only part of me and I wasn’t influenced by anything but the people who generated me. I like the colors and shapes my hair has been but I miss home.

  2. Roots, they’re what make you undeniably you and there’s no changing them once you’ve laid down the path. Of course you can go back, make new ones over the old, run through broken and torn and aged roots that are dying and shriveled, you can make stronger bonds and suck up the new life. But they were still there once.

  4. root, like as in tree? it’s where you come from. you grow from it. it keeps you grounded, from falling over. a constant reminder of where you’ve been and possibly where you’ll go. it’s something you can always go back to and can’t be taken away from.

  10. Roots digging into the soil… cutting into the earth and forming a connection. It’s nice how plants can do that; form ties to the things that created them. In a way, people do that too, but they’re a lot less concrete. Everyone has ties to things they’ve seen, touched, felt. But we can’t see the ties. We know that they’re there, we can feel them, but they aren’t concrete.

  14. I dug up the roots of my family tree. My family tree is actually a tomato plant. This is a family tree we pick. The younger members are picked when green. They become fried green tomatoes. The older members become a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich, tomato soup, and the oldest become chili. We are southern.

  20. Taking root, the tree of desire stood alone in the center of the garden. It’s bare branches swayed in the high winds like couples intertwining in love. There were no leaves. There were no colors.

  22. “Look, Lucas–we’re almost done!”

    His mother gently scoops away a shovelful of dirt.

    “Hand it to me, please?”

When will they stop covering the best farmland in the world with construction???

  28. It came up from the sidewalk and lumped it’s way between the cement, a monstrous vein that caused the gravel to crumble and weaken. I trip over it on a regular basis, not because I forget, but because it’s important to feel it’s power above mine.

  38. The root of evil is a difficult thing to describe. Whether it be in our hearts or prescribed from our minds. The only way to overcome this inherent and/or learned act is by recognizing the humanity in oneself,others, and in God.

  39. Money is the root of all evil. Funny I should decide to write that. It is a very popular saying. No wonder I thought of it. Maybe if I were a bit more creative in my thinking I would come up with something a little better. Root… Root beer?
