In the roots,
I find my past feeding from the present
while growing into the future

Thus my present is
a source of nutrients:
water
dirt
light

the water is the people I encounter in my path

the dirt is what holds me together in place
and keeps my roots protected underground

while the light is what illuminates me
and helps me stretch closer and closer
towards the sky.
