Insight of the Day: Real roots, go deeper than the deepest soil they
they go to the soul.

I was in myAmerican Literature class, when this thought sort of materialized,
onto the first in my series of coffee sleeves. I've always had a fascination with trees,
and all of their different parts. So it's not hard to imagine why I picked a tree analogy.
Being of a different ethnicity in America, influenced this particular "self-revelatory" moment. The idea of who I am has to go beyond, from where I came or the location I am currently in. Identity isn't a superficial badge, but an individuality rooted in the depths of the soul.
