In hopes of capturing the tulips through my lens With the peeping out of a much wanted spring Yes they are slowly appearing.  But I came across a tree. What I noticed was it roots system which strangely a fair amount of the roots laid above the ground.   I suppose that is what every root system looks like; each branch struggling to find it space!   So they can get there share of nutrients’ and water This amazing root system an be seen surviving with the clear water, Now this is Albany, New York, not Albany, Georgia, where you might see Cypress growing in a swap. Trying it best to survive or to maintain life. similar to myself – trying to maintain life in search of stillness in my mind.   I have been told the still minds do exist! The roots seem like me trying to find balance in my life  or maintain balance if found. So often I go overboard on something “get mad at myself for being overwhelmed , tried, frustrated, and it is all what I started, created, and then I tend to lose interest in it and move on to something else that will never get completed It is a cycle, I do like those roots turn right than left than up to the sun, grow deep for water source. . A cycle!!!! When does it end or maybe this is what makes me … me like the roots they are beautiful! It all just is!
