Analysis of What Roots Do You Rise From



A mother-and-daughter relationship should be viewed as two plants; one plant who has grown its roots and another who has just been planted. As the seed grows its own roots, a portion of it progressively intertwines with the plant that has risen before it. Not entirely but enough of a portion to show similarity. The plant that has already risen will be a vital part of the new seeds’ growth because its life is a displayed model into a new unknown atmosphere. What you see in this growth is patience. It took patience for the water to soak, it took patience for the first pedal to align with the sun, it took patience for the seed to strengthen, and it will take patience for this seed to configure its own pattern. Though patience is one thing that can’t be measured. The experiences can be. There will be seasons where you won’t grow, where you won’t receive the water you need, or where you won’t get the attention, you desire but you received just enough to make it to the next season. The details in the birth of that first sprout will only be seen by the root that grew before it which is why no one could take its place. Those changes in time will mold that root into a blossoming flower. Starting a new life of her own.
