What would happen to trees without roots-and that could fly? i don't think they would be content with the soil or water at their...uh feet (for lack of a better word) nor would they stay grounded- ever reaching at a snails pace for the sun. what would happen is these special trees would fly into all of the bodies of water, and up through the sky and to the sun. drowning and burning aren't the thoughts that come to mind when one looks at this piece...i think "release" and "freedom" are more like it. but really, that is what would happen, drowning and burning that is. trees are specifically made to move, grow and reach in a manner that is best for them. roots are what we need, on the ground is where we belong. what if, at any given moment, we could fly to whatever it is we want? before we realized its consequences we would find ourselves consumed in them (the consequences). puritanical sounding? Perhaps at first, but go ahead and live both lives and discover that it is infinitely better to be disciplined, to ponder our decisions and to work for what we want.
