A little walk out the door, a weed, a root, all tossed in the street.

Went for a walk with Zach today. Course a walk is a time for a talk about whatever fits the day. Plenty that could apply to today. Then on the other hand I am not implying that the subject I will make reference to is a one that really is a great subject or even one worth using to relate to the walk today. Good news ..............better subjects came up. Now with that said as I go out the door I turn to the left and then left again. I walk along the edge of the property. I often pick out a few weeds from the rock covered section between the sidewalk and the street and I pull up those weeds. This is of course my effort to keep the weeds down and even though it is just a few weeds on the way somewhere it actually makes a difference. Now if the subject of the day is "symbolism" or perhaps "what it all means" then maybe the message ought to be on just doing a little weed pulling and how important that is to our lifes little walk, but better than that might be just wondering about "weeds" some. I notice for example that some seem to have little thorns and sticky stuff and are just a pain to pull. Then I found one today that looked kinda green, speaking about the portion above the ground that is. Little leaves. It was like a short little tree. I pulled it up and it had a big long root system. One big long one and then another one almost as long. The roots were way bigger than the green stuff above the surface. Why you ask? Well put another way, "Why I speculate about" for a couple of blocks. Yes indeed this is not a subject worth miles but blocks maybe. I noticed that the thorny weeds didn't have much of a root system. Maybe if your just hard to touch it isn't necessary that you have a lot of deep anchors. It must all mean something about life. Maybe about work, or selling ones home, or career moves? "A whole bunch of roots sort of help one if it might be likely that one could be pulled up or perhaps eaten or have ones top bitten off. This little walk was of course a voyage of discovery. One where we didn't see new lands but saw with new eyes

This must have a deeper meaning?????????

Long long roots can be a surprise. Long long roots seem to be on the "nicer weeds" at least based on my half dozen recollected samples and recent experiences. Roots may be good things one might conclude. Then again roots come up and get tossed in the street and Zach and I find other things to talk about.
