Setting Down Roots

Consider the banyan tree, a remarkable species found in India and other subtropical regions. As it grows, its sprawling branches become increasingly heavy. But instead of breaking under their own weight, the tree sends down aerial roots from its limbs.

These roots reach the ground, take hold, and thicken into new trunks, providing additional support. Over time, a single banyan tree can spread so widely that standing beneath it feels like stepping into a dense forest—when, in reality, it’s all part of one living organism. A fascinating reminder of strength, connection, and resilience.
