Solitude teaches us to sink our roots down into our innermost being where the water of Life dwells.

 

I found this Limber Pine growing out of a crack in a boulder with just a bit of soil for nourishment. It reminded me to spend time in solitude, where there doesn't seem to be much of any substance happening, at least not in the way of exciting events. In solitude, there is a simplicity that teaches us to sink our roots down into our innermost being where the water of life lies waiting in silence, hiddenness and secrecy.
