Description: We each have our own special place, somewhere deep within us, that is all our own. It develops from the world where we are born — it’s images, smells, languages, sounds, and rhythms. This place is always within us. Who am I ? The essential question of identity that is at the heart of a life’s quest. To where do I belong? The question of belonging in place — the root. . . . My root gives me firm ground to walk on. It is the place that I come from. It shapes my character, my soul, and my wishes. It informs my destiny, my life purpose and my dream path. Understanding where I come from helps me get a better sense of direction, toward where I am going in the world. Through my growth I see a connection of my root with who I am now. This world I share with you is about me. . . and my vision.
