Roots and shoots

 

Roots and shoots - both grow, but one is more obvious than the other. 

When your roots are growing, you're getting stronger, more deeply embedded, more stable. But it may not be showing on the surface. This is an inner growing, going within yourself.

When the shoots are growing, they can be seen. It's more obvious to you and to others. But without the roots, more 'upper' growth would eventually make the whole plant topple. 

Don't neglect your roots.
