Summary

This quote emphasizes the essential need for individuals to have a sense of belonging, stability, and deep connections in their lives. Being rooted implies being connected to our surroundings, our cultural or familial heritage, and having a sense of purpose and identity. It suggests that despite its significance, the need for being rooted is often overlooked or undervalued in modern society. The quote highlights the importance of acknowledging and fulfilling this primal need, as not being rooted can lead to feelings of disorientation, restlessness, and a lack of fulfillment in one's soul.

Why is doubt the one thing we're never skeptical of? We question other peoples' beliefs, and the more sure they are the more we doubt them. But it never occurs to us to doubt our own doubt. Question our own questions. We think our questions are answers.

My pet-sitting day ends around sunset, and it's very satisfy

My pet-sitting day ends around sunset, and it's very satisfying to know that I've made several living beings happy that day. That I left their food bowls sparkling clean and fresh water in their water bowls. That I brushed them so their coats shined, and played with them until all our hearts were beating faster. That I kissed them goodbye and left them with their tails wagging or flipping or at least raised in a happy kind of way. That's a heck of a lot more than any president, pope, prime minister, or potentate can say, and I wouldn't switch places with any of them.
