Ahhh...the holidays...no longer are we able to exist as surface lev
el beings. We are forced to visit with the bottom dwellers...to get to the root of why we are the way we are...enter: THE FAMILY GET TOGETHER. All across the nation families are planning gatherings. Good intentions will be served but all too often the food gets too cold too quickly. Why is that? Why can't we all just get along?! Perhaps it is because there are too many cooks in the kitchen once all the kids have grown up to become adults themselves. Lives change and people move on. But the grudges and the infractions linger through the ages.
No matter how long ago we flew the coop our roots run deep-always searching for their source of original sustenance. Sometimes our roots branch out and find other means through which to thrive. But come the fall and winter months, when most of us would rather hunker down and hibernate, the winds of change blow our way and expose the things we tried to keep hidden. Our roots are exposed and they are not a pretty sight. Now we are stuck. If we cut off our roots we are sure to sever ourselves indefinitely. If we try to transplant we are never fully whole. So what are we to do? We are to drink from the well, but lean towards the light. And if all else fails...find yourself and excellent stylist!!!
