Faithed

I just won a Words with Friends game with "faithed." All the letters I had, once properly arranged, came out to this word. I did not realize faith was a denotative, actual verb. 

And, this flows perfectly with the messages I've received throughout my day. Maybe it is a stretch to see the connections between these unrelated things. Maybe it's not. Maybe this is me faithing it.

Uprooted

I did not realize that weeds could be green and/or pretty. I did not understand that a weed is "plant that is not valued where it is growing." I also did not know that I would love weeding. 

Plucking the weed from the ground by the root is deeply satisfying. Perhaps, I've always favored uprooting especially when necessary. Perhaps, it is simply the symbolism that I love so much. It feels soul necessary for me.
