Detach

Birth. The less disturbed the better. Slowly and very carefully we grow roots accustomed to our surroundings. The soil rocks us to sleep every night as it makes us part of an environment. We learn to ingest the insane amount of sunlight directed our way. We grow, and sometimes our roots grow. To prevent the effects due to high exposure of sunlight, to those rooted near the equator, a temporary transplantation is suggested. If not sometimes leaves will sweat tears of wonder and the roots will burn due to a tasteless soil. Even with a careful detachment, death is a possibility. If one is a cactus, thirst is an immediate side effect. Most certainly, the new surrounding will not nurture in its capacity. Surprisingly, in the numb & almost dead state, the roots grow without soil or water. The leaves change color, they emit knowledge and expand. The plant can become beautiful, unique. An abnormality and a rare one. But because it is not well fed, even if it is growing with speed, the plant sucks death as it grows detached. To ensure its propagation, or its purpose, it must be replanted where it belongs. Caution is a must when doing so. For the plant may have acquired (or lost) qualities that prevent its re-rooting. Easing the plant is a common custom. The best would be presenting it with chances. For it can only go one way or another. Life... Death.
