The tree looks similar to the one in my backyard, but is small and has leaves of a different color. I’ve not seen this species before.
“Wait”, I stop in my tracks at the familiar rustling sound.
“I broke away from my roots, and walked here in search of a new identity. The sunk roots held me for too long. But I always knew I’m different, and need a different environment to grow.”
“Are you happy?”
“Yeah… there’s nothing to hold me back. I’m free to grow new roots, leaves, flowers – without being made to feel guilty about it.”

Wise tree and a good message for us humans who think we are captive to our roots.
