Further into your Root Truth

when you read an affirmation you may hear an inner voice speak a trooth.  Why put the word Root inside the word Truth? Because every truth is as complex as a root system, and every trooth leads deeper into your soil to connect to another trooth, or higher into your sky to connect to the leaves and fruits that are also your trooths.  If you sit with a trooth long enough you can sense where it lives in or just outside your body. You can listen to the stories the trooth tells, what narratives is it writing?

 

Further in your Root Truth via Poetry

when you read an affirmation you may hear an inner voice speak a trooth

you can sit with that trooth and feel where it lives in your body

you can explore that trooth and see the other trooths that are the foundation for that trooth

see what trooths are nourishing that trooth

and you can decide if that trooth is nourishing you

and decide if that trooth is still a foundation that you wish to continue growing from

or if the pathway of that trooth needs to stop controlling your growth and if it's time to intentionally grow your roots in a new direction

towards a different source of light and nourishment

 

here is the tree that you are

here is the soil that you are in

here are your roots being fed by that soil….soaking in the rain

here are your leaves growing towards the starlight

here are your flowers….turning slowly into fruits with seeds

here is your seed floating on the wind or dropping to the soil

here is your seedling growing familiar with the soil and sprouting a leaf

here you have choices

stay in this place and be this tree, grow to your fullest potential and connect to the other trees rooted with you here, rooting for you here

or hold the trooth that you are a seed, on the wind or in the fruit, ready to dig deep into new soil, and start over again… to become whole again. bathed in rain, awash in starlight, taking in the nourishment of the earth.
