It’s funny how we like to say

“I was rooted to the spot”

Because though our feet are still, our minds are racing

Weaving

Stitching

And it makes sense that we say “I’m rooting for you”

To demonstrate the solid presence of our support

Keeping each other steady and stable

Anchoring ourselves to the things we need

And it makes sense we like to get “to the root of the problem”

Because nothing true can grow from poisoned soil
