Most trees grow in soil rooted in sunlight and sky. But some trees, like Birch, Weeping Willow and all that sprout along a creek grow their roots in water.

Sentinels of the river standing gloriously at mid-tide where flooded banks kiss their weather worn and resilient trunks again and again like a lover.

Some women are like some trees.

Lush, vibrant, strong but not growing where most think she should.

They proclaim she’s got it wrong. They warn her of the possibility of floods. Doesn’t she know where she belongs? They say the water will rot and drown her but she knows the truth of the river and how its ebb and flow surges through her soul and that her roots grow best underwater. Some women are like some trees. ~Edveeje Fairchild
