Recently I was doing some studying at Starbucks and saw this on the wall:
"The deeper the roots the higher the reach."
My mind went immediately to the spiritual implications of a statement like that. What does it mean to have deep roots? And how high (or far) is my reach based on my current "root system"? It's really made me think about my relationship with God and with others. Are my relationships deep and meaningful because my roots are deep? Or are they "shallow" and never go beyond "hey, how are you doing"? Do I associate with people who also have deep roots? And with people who challenge me to deepen my roots? Or are the people in my life content with how deep my roots already are?
Just some thoughts at the beginning of this year........
