TRANSPLANTING

I must say that even today I remain quite certain that souls which take root in a particular geography cannot be successfully transplanted. I believe that these roots, these tiny fibrous filaments, will almost inevitably dry and wither in the new soil, or will send the plant into sudden and irretrievable shock.

The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve

I share the same sentiment, that's why I'm moving back to Oregon...where my "roots" are! Jim

We have known that to be true for some time. You will feel complete when you return. Dad and Mom
