Root bound...

Lately I've noticed for several weeks (actually months)
that some of my larger plants aren't looking healthy.
Despite more watering and attention, leaves are
yellowing then turning brown and falling off.

Danger signals that something is drastically wrong
maybe the plant has grown too big for the pot it's in
and is ROOT BOUND. So the time finally came
to repot the plant and sure enough it was true.

With no room to grow, the roots were a mass
of intertwined tangled shoots looking for
nourishment and room to spread out and grow.
I sometimes feel like that too-time for change.

Not replanting, but sometimes just a minor
adjustment of attitude will do the trick.
Gratitude instead of self centerness helps lots.
Giving instead of expecting, repentance is key.
