An idea - planted in the mind, nourished sometimes, neglected others - often grows despite receiving neither care nor tending. One can try to pluck at certain ideas to remove them, but the roots are often deep, they take hold, they burrow down deep into the psyche and consume each moment of one's day.

 

...and so today, I woke up and realized the seed that was planted, that for so long I neither cared for nor tended to, has grown into a majestic, beautiful tree with strong, deep roots. I'll care for and tend to it each and every day, for as many days as it will grow.
