The Searching Root
“Movement begins without certainty.”
Direction is discovered through contact.
The symbol
You are moving without a map. Something in you is reaching — extending into unfamiliar territory, testing surfaces, looking for purchase. The direction may simply be undiscovered. You are finding your way by feel, and the feel has not yet resolved into certainty.
The gift
The Searching Root gives you a sensitivity to conditions that most people will never develop.
The shadow
The shadow of The Searching Root is romance.
