Determined


A tree root can break
a sidewalk after long
and patient work.

It doesn't try
to crack the cement.
It just knows where
it needs to go,
and goes there.

I'm behind on my blog reading!! Your entry today reminded me of people who build their homes in a floodplain and then complain about flooding or they build their home in the middle of a forest and then complain about forest fires. When we humans try to interrupt the flow of natural processes, they tend to later interrupt our plans.
