WE ARE GROOT

In the movie Guardians of the Galaxy there is a character named Groot.

He is a tree/root.

Throughout the movie he tries to make all the characters get along with one another...

they all come from different planets and places and ways of thinking

and he says "I am groot."

toward the end of the movie he gives his life to save his friends by wrapping them in his

root/vine/branches and tells them

"We are Groot"

Which is what I believe

We are the ones with the keys to saving the universe.

We are the guardians of the galaxy.

We are ultimately the carriers of what happens here.

What happens to one of us happens to all of us. 

We are groot.

    I don't know the movie but the text touches me..... and beeing Dutch, the word "Groot" (don't know how it is pronounced in the movie : groot or g-root) but Groot in my native tongue means 'large, big, enormous'.

    When I woke up this morning your blog came into my mind and I felt I should come over here and see what I'm supposed to see. I've not seen this movie but I can certainly understand the message. Thank you for this gentle reminder.


    I also felt I was supposed to see your Sunday post. The Golden Rule has been passing through my mind with more frequency along with a deeper desire to practice it in every circumstance. So, I also thank you for that. :)

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
