Roots. Connection. Generation. Foundation. Grounding within Love. Generosity. Boundless Giving. Outreach. Extension.

1) Rooted in Love, this tree will never fall. Loving Connections sustain and guide through this desert time. Over 6 feet, 6 miles, 6,000 miles the net is there to ease the free-fall into the unknown.

2) The closest beloved. The passer-by. The familiar, yet still nameless face in aisle 17. Each tendril of the Root system is integral to the whole. You, too, are a nameless face, integral to someone else’s Love system.

3) Yahrzeit. How are we already here, at the turning of the longest-shortest year since the beginning of Creation? You are no less - perhaps even more - the very Root of my Foundation. The Foundation of my Roots. Your Generous Outreach no less tangible in your ethereal form.
