“Walls turned sideways
are bridges.”
—Angela Davis
roots serve as anchor
foothold for those unsettled
essential support

Growing Sideways ~ Banyon trees are known for their aerial roots that grow from the branches and descend to the ground where they anchor the tree and form additional trunks. Some specimens cover several acres with their sideways growth • Photo by Jan Logozzo • “Turned Sideways” haiku and blog by Mary O’Connor

Mary, this Haiku illustrates nature’s sometimes hidden purpose. We are blessed if we find its hidden bridge to more treasures.
