“A plant needs to do more than stretch its leaves toward the sun.
It also needs to send down roots deep into the ground.
They hold on tightly in the dark,
out of sight where it is easy to forget about them.
But it is the fact that a plant can do these two things at once,
anchoring itself to the earth even as it reaches for the sky, that makes it strong.”
