A Story

Two months ago, Sandra Strait at Life Imitates Doodles posted a challenge to take a just finished tile, give it a title, and tell its story. And then to invite YOU to share what this tile says to you.
I'm putting that statement both BEFORE and AFTER my version of the story, to give you the opportunity to react without reading my Stuff.

OK, TWO MONTHS?!? Sometimes I'm slow, but this is a little ridiculous. AND I actually completed this over two weeks ago (only a little less ridiculous). AND I didn't exactly follow the instructions. BUT here's my tile:

And here's my Story:
I was sitting and visiting with my parents recently, and tangling almost continuously (it helps, Really)  As I worked on this one, somewhere in the midst of the process,  I saw that I had used a lot of tangles that I haven't used recently, but they're tangles I used more a year ago, when I was first discovering Zentangle: my Zentangle "roots."

I kinda liked this thought, especially considering that I was in my parents home, talking of "family matters."
So I added the growing Flux in that empty space I still had in the middle, to symbolize both my Zentangle growth and my "daughter-growth." And I gave it some roots, because that WAS the original thought: roots of Zentangle, roots of Family.

You cannot grow well: strong, healthy, grounded in the past and reaching for the Light, if your roots are not deep!

The last part of the Challenge is to invite YOU to share what this tile says to you! So let's hear from  you.
